Poly (alkyl epdxides), process for making, and lubricant compositions having same
A process for making a poly(alkyl epoxide). The process has the step of polymerizing one or more alkyl epoxide monomers in the presence of a cationic catalyst according to the following sequences:wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are hydrogen or alkyl moieties that, taken together, have a total of 1 to 80 carbons; wherein any of R1, R2, R3, and R4 can be linear or branched if it is an alkyl moiety; wherein “m” is an integer from 1 to 4; and wherein “n” is an integer from 2 to 120. There is also another process for making a poly(alkyl epoxide) using an initiator. There are also poly(alkyl epoxides). There is also a lubricant composition having a first lubricant base stock of one or more poly(alkyl epoxides) and a second lubricant base stock different than the first lubricant base stock.
