Abstract
Abstract What is disclosed are the method of making a lubricating-oil additive which improves the viscosity index and has a dispersing and detergent action, which method comprises graft copolymerizing, onto an oil-soluble base polymer, from 0.5 to 10 parts of a polymerizable lactam together with 0.1 to 3 parts of a polymerizable N-heterocyclic compound, said parts being by weight of said base polymer, and the lubricating-oil additives so produced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
The method of making a lubricating-oil additive which improves the viscosity index and has a dispersing and detergent action, which method comprises graft copolymerizing 0.5 to 10 percent of N-vinyl pyrrolidone together with 0.1 to 3 percent of N-vinyl imidazole onto an oil-soluble base polymer selected from the group consisting of polyalkyl methacrylic acid esters of alcohols having at least 8 carbon atoms and mixtures of said polyalkyl methacrylic acid esters with a polyolefin, said percentages being by weight of said base polymer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
83 words
The method of making a lubricating-oil additive which improves the viscosity index and has a dispersing and detergent action, which method comprises graft copolymerizing 0.5 to 10 percent of N-vinyl pyrrolidone together with 0.1 to 3 percent of N-vinyl imidazole onto an oil-soluble base polymer selected from the group consisting of polyalkyl methacrylic acid esters of alcohols having at least 8 carbon atoms and mixtures of said polyalkyl methacrylic acid esters with a polyolefin, said percentages being by weight of said base polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said graft copolymerization is carried out in an extruder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein the ratio by weight of said N-vinyl pyrrolidone to said N-vinyl imidazole is from 2:1 to 5:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein from 1 to 5 percent of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and from 0.2 to 2 percent of N-vinyl imidazole, by weight of said base polymer, are graft copolymerized onto said base polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
A lubricating-oil additive prepared by the method of claim 1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
10 words
A lubricating-oil additive prepared by the method of claim 2.
