Claims68
A composition, comprising:
- (i) a functionalized compound made by the reaction of a terpene with (a) a functionalized monomer and/or functionalized polymer derived from the functionalized monomer;
- (ii) a functionalized compound made by the reaction of a terpene with (a) a functionalized monomer and/or functionalized polymer derived from the functionalized monomer and (b) an olefin;
- (iii) a functionalized compound made by the reaction of a terpene with (a) a functionalized monomer and/or functionalized polymer derived from the functionalized monomer and (c) an enophilic reagent;
- (iv) a functionalized compound made by the reaction of a terpene with (a) a functionalized monomer and/or functionalized polymer derived from the functionalized monomer, (b) an olefin, and (c) an enophilic reagent;
- or
- (v) a mixture of two or more of (i) to (iv);
- wherein:
- the functionalized monomer (a) comprises 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;
- the olefin (b) contains from 2 to about 30 carbon atoms;
- and
- the enophilic reagent (c) comprises an oxidizing agent, a sulfurizing agent, a sulfonating agent, an enophilic acid, anhydride and/or ester reagent, an aromatic compound, a hydroxylating agent, a halogenating agent, or a mixture of two or more thereof;
- and
- wherein the terpene is reacted in the presence of a metathesis catalyst to form a metathesized terpene or with another olefinic compound in the presence of a metathesis catalyst to form a cross-metathesized terpene prior to being reacted with the functionalized monomer (a) and/or functionalized polymer derived from the functionalized monomer, the olefin (b) and/or the enophilic reagent (c).
