Oil-soluble, derivatized ethylene copolymers derived from about 15 to 90 wt. % ethylene, and one or more C₃ to C₂₈ alpha-olefins, e.g. propylene, which are grafted, preferably solution-grafted under an inert atmosphere and at elevated temperatures and in the presence of a high-temperature decomposable free-radical initiator, with an ethylenically-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid material and thereafter reacted with a polyamine having at least two primary amine groups, e.g. an alkylene polyamine such as diethylene triamine, to form carboxyl-grafted polymeric imide, usually maleimide, derivatives are subsequently reacted with a C₁₂ to about C₁₈ hydrocarbyl substituted dicarboxylic acid anhydride, preferably a C₁₂ to about C₁₈ hydrocarbyl substituted succinic anhydride, to yield an oil-soluble stable imide of said carboxyl-grafted copolymeric imide whereby oil solutions thereof are characterized by minimal viscosity change over an extended period of time. Useful number average molecular weights (Mn) of said copolymers range from about 700 to 500,000; however, if the molecular weight is from about 10,000 to 500,000 then these copolymers are also useful as multi-functional viscosity index improvers.
油溶性衍生乙烯共聚物,由约 15 至 90 wt.%的乙烯和一种或多种 C₃ 至 C₂₈ α-烯烃(如丙烯)衍生而成。丙烯,与乙烯不饱和二羧酸材料接枝,最好是在惰性气氛、高温和可高温分解的自由基引发剂存在下进行溶液接枝,然后与具有至少两个伯胺基团的聚胺反应,例如烷基多胺,如二乙烯三胺,形成羧基接枝的聚合亚胺,通常是马来酰亚胺,衍生物随后与 C₁₂ 至约 C₁₈ 的烃基取代的二羧酸酐反应、优选 C₁₂至约 C₁₈烃基取代的琥珀酸酐,以获得所述羧基接枝共聚亚胺的油溶性稳定亚胺,其油溶液在较长时间内的粘度变化极小。所述共聚物的有用平均分子量(Mn)范围约为 700 至 500,000;但是,如果分子量约为 10,000 至 500,000,则这些共聚物也可用作多功能粘度指数改进剂。
