Abstract
This invention relates to a composition, comprising: an unsaturated functionalized monomer of from about 5 to about 30 carbon atoms, which is: (a) polymerized to form a functionalized polymer; (b) copolymerized with a comonomer to form a functionalized copolymer; or (c) reacted with an enophilic reagent to form a polyfunctionalized monomer. The polyfunctionalized monomer may be polymerized to form a polyfunctionalized polymer which may be further reacted with one or more additional reagents. The invention relates to lubricants, functional fluids, fuels, dispersants, detergents and polymeric resins.

A composition, comprising:
- a functionalized monomer, which is an alkenoic acid having from about 10 to about 30 carbon atoms and a carbon-carbon double bond between the C9 and C10 carbon atoms, and/or an ester thereof, wherein the functionalized monomer is:
- (a) polymerized to form a functionalized polymer in the presence of a free radical initiator;
- (b) copolymerized with a comonomer to form a functionalized copolymer in the presence of a free radical initiator;
- or
- (c) reacted on the alkenyl group with an enophilic reagent to form a polyfunctionalized monomer, the enophilic reagent comprising an oxidizing agent, a sulfurizing agent, an enophilic acid reagent, an aromatic compound, a hydroxylating agent, a halogenating agent, or a mixture of two or more thereof, the enophilic reagent being reactive towards one or more of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the alkenyl group.
A composition, comprising:
- a functionalized monomer, which is an alkenoic acid having from 10 to 30 carbon atoms and a carbon-carbon double bond between the C9 and C10 carbon atoms, and/or an ester thereof, wherein the functionalized monomer is copolymerized with a comonomer to form a functionalized copolymer in the presence of a free radical initiator.
