Abstract:
A monomer comprises the structure wherein R1 comprises H or a substituted hydrocarbyl or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl, and wherein R2 comprises H, a halide, or a substituted or unsubstituted (C1-C4) hydrocarbyl. A method comprises (a) reacting a dianhydrohexitol precursor having the structure with an acyl-group containing compound having the structure wherein R1 comprises H or a substituted hydrocarbyl or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl, and X comprises a halide, a hydroxyl group, or an acyl group to form an acylated dianhydrohexitol ester intermediate having the structure and (b) reacting the acylated dianhydrohexitol ester intermediate with an acrylic-based compound having the structure wherein R2 comprises H, a halide, or a substituted or unsubstituted (C1-C4) hydrocarbyl, and Y comprises a halide, a hydroxyl group, or an acyl group, to form a dianhydrohexitol-based monomer having the structure
Abstract:
A process to produce a polyolefin reactive telechelic pre-polymer comprising reacting alkyl-c/5-cyclooctene and optionally czs-cyclooctene, in the presence of a multifunctional chain transfer agent possessing two or more amino groups wherein the two or more amino groups are protected by one or more protecting groups under ring opening metathesis polymerization conditions to form a dicarbamate telechelic unsaturated polyolefm pre-polymer is provided.
Abstract:
A process to produce a polyolefin reactive telechelic pre-polymer comprising reacting alkyl-cis-cyclooctene, and optionally cis-cyclooctene, in the presence of a multifunctional chain transfer agent possessing two or more amino groups wherein the two or more amino groups are protected by one or more protecting groups under ring opening metathesis polymerization conditions to form a dicarbamate telechelic unsaturated polyolefin pre-polymer is provided.
Abstract:
A graft copolymer can include, in its backbone, at least one segment having repeating units obtainable by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of an optionally substituted cycloalkene, and at least one segment comprising repeating units obtainable by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of a (meth)acrylate. The corresponding graft copolymer is highly suitable for use as an oil additive in internal combustion engines, in particular, in combustion engines which are operated for longer periods of time at substantially constant operating temperatures.
