Abstract
Abstract What is disclosed is a method for making a lubricating oil additive which comprises a first step of graft copolymerizing an alkyl ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid, alone or in combination with styrene, onto a backbone copolymer which is hydrogenated block copolymer of styrene and a conjugated diene having 4 to 6 carbon atoms to form a first graft copolymer, and a second step of graft copolymerizing a polymerizable heterocyclic monomer, alone or in combination with a hydrophobizing vinyl ester, onto said first graft copolymer to form a second graft copolymer, and the lubricating oil additive so made.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
A method for making a lubricating oil additive which comprises a first step of free-radically graft copolymerizing an alkyl ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid, alone or in combination with styrene in a weight ratio of styrene to esters of 1:15 to 1:9, onto a backbone copolymer which is a hydrogenated block copolymer of styrene and a conjugated diene having 4 to 6 carbon atoms and a residual content of olefinic double bonds of less than 15 percent, in a medium suitable for use as a lubricant, to form a first graft copolymer, and a second step of free-radically graft copolymerizing at least one N-heterocyclic monomer selected from the group consisting of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone-2 and N-vinyl-imidazole, alone or in combination with a hydrophobizing vinyl ester in a weight ratio of ester to said N-heterocyclic monomer of 1:0.1 to 1:3, onto said first graft copolymer, in a medium suitable for use as a lubricant, to form a second graft copolymer comprising 5 to 50 percent by weight of said hydrogenated block copolymer, from 49.5 to 85 percent by weight of monomers graft copolymerized in said first step, and from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of monomers graft copolymerized in said second step.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
203 words
A method for making a lubricating oil additive which comprises a first step of free-radically graft copolymerizing an alkyl ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid, alone or in combination with styrene in a weight ratio of styrene to esters of 1:15 to 1:9, onto a backbone copolymer which is a hydrogenated block copolymer of styrene and a conjugated diene having 4 to 6 carbon atoms and a residual content of olefinic double bonds of less than 15 percent, in a medium suitable for use as a lubricant, to form a first graft copolymer, and a second step of free-radically graft copolymerizing at least one N-heterocyclic monomer selected from the group consisting of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone-2 and N-vinyl-imidazole, alone or in combination with a hydrophobizing vinyl ester in a weight ratio of ester to said N-heterocyclic monomer of 1:0.1 to 1:3, onto said first graft copolymer, in a medium suitable for use as a lubricant, to form a second graft copolymer comprising 5 to 50 percent by weight of said hydrogenated block copolymer, from 49.5 to 85 percent by weight of monomers graft copolymerized in said first step, and from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of monomers graft copolymerized in said second step.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said alkyl ester has the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or methyl and R 2 is alkyl having 1 to 22 carbon atoms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A method as in claim 2 wherein said aminoalkyl ester has the formula ##STR5## wherein R 1 ' is hydrogen or methyl, R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n is an integer from 2 to 4.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
82 words
A method for making a lubricating oil additive as in claim 1 wherein an alkyl ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid is graft copolymerized in combination with styrene, in a first step, onto a backbone copolymer which is a hydrogenated block copolymer of styrene and a conjugated diene having 4 to 6 carbon atoms to form a first graft copolymer, and then graft copolymerizing N-vinyl-pyrrolidone-2 in a second step onto said first graft copolymer to form a second graft copolymer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
