Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides, among other things, a process to produce a low molecular weight dispersant polymethacrylate polymer (“LMWDPMA”), and the LMWDPMA itself, along with the use of the LMWDPMA in a lubricating composition, as well as a method for lubricating an internal combustion engine as disclosed herein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A dispersant polymethacrylate polymer (“DPMA”) comprising an amine terminated polymethacrylate polymer represented by Formula II where R 1 is an alkyl group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms; X is a nitrogen-containing group; and n is an integer of 3 to 30. 2. The DPMA of claim 1 wherein the nitrogen-containing group comprises 3-morpholinopropylamine. 3. The DPMA of claim 1 wherein the nitrogen-containing group comprises 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamine. 4. A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and the DPMA as claimed in claim 1 . 5. A method of lubricating an internal combustion engine comprising supplying to the internal combustion engine a lubricating composition comprising the lubricating composition of claim 4 . 6. A process for preparing a dispersant polymethacrylate polymer comprising 1) preparing a vinyl terminated polymethacrylate polymer by catalytic chain transfer polymerization; 2) reacting the vinyl terminated polymethacrylate polymer with a nitrogen-containing group in the presence of microwave radiation. 7. The process of claim 6 , where the vinyl terminated polymethacrylate polymer has a molecular weight of about 1000 to about 5000 Mn and is reacted with a nitrogen-containing group.
