Abstract
Provided herein are compositions comprising at least one estolide compound of formula: in which n is an integer equal to or greater than 0; m is an integer equal to or greater than 1; R1, independently for each occurrence, is selected from optionally substituted alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched; R2 is selected from hydrogen and optionally substituted alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched; and R3 and R4, independently for each occurrence, are selected from optionally substituted alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched. Also provided are uses of the compositions described herein.

A composition comprising:
- at least one polymeric material;
- and
- an estolide base oil comprising at least one compound of Formula I:
- wherein
- x is, independently for each occurrence, an integer selected from 0 to 20;
- y is, independently for each occurrence, an integer selected from 0 to 20;
- n is an integer equal to or greater than 1;
- R1 is an optionally substituted, branched or unbranched alkyl having at least one terminal site of unsaturation;
- and
- R2 is selected from an optionally substituted alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched,
- wherein each fatty acid chain residue of said at least one compound is independently optionally substituted.
A composition comprising:
- at least one polymeric material;
- and
- an estolide base oil comprising one or more compounds of Formula I, wherein the estolide base oil has estolide number (EN) of greater than 1.0, wherein EN is the average number of estolide linkages in compounds of Formula I, wherein the one or more compounds are selected from:
- wherein
- x is, independently for each occurrence, an integer selected from 0 to 20;
- y is, independently for each occurrence, an integer selected from 0 to 20;
- n is an integer equal to or greater than 0;
- R1 is an optionally substituted, branched or unbranched alkyl having at least one terminal site of unsaturation;
- and
- R2 is selected from hydrogen and an optionally substituted alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched,
- wherein each fatty acid chain residue of said at least one compound is independently optionally substituted.
