Abstract
A novel a polymer dispersant comprising an additive reaction product obtained by reacting a first monomer comprising a mixture of alkylacrylates of varying chain lengths with a second monomer comprising an olefinic carboxylic acylating agent under conditions effective for free radical polymerization of the first and second monomers to provide a base polymer comprising an acylated alkylacrylate copolymer, and wherein the base polymer is further reacted with a hydrocarbyl amine to provide an amine-functionalized polyalkylacrylate copolymer dispersant. The base polymer intermediate has a number average molecular weight between about 5,000 to about 50,000. The polyalkylacrylate copolymer dispersant has good dispersancy, low temperature properties, thickening efficiency, and antioxidancy properties. They also can improve fuel economy when used in engine lubricating compositions. They also are precipitation- or sedimentation-resistant, and do not cause or encourage such formations in finished fluids incorporating them.
