Abstract
Poly[(2-ethylhexyl acrylate)-ran-(tert-butyl acrylate)]-block-poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl acrylate) or P(EXA-r-tBA)-PCEA was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. Reactivity ratios of EXA and tBA for copolymerization were determined. The specific refractive index increments of six diblocks were measured as a function of their composition. The diblocks were thermally stable and formed micelles in an automobile engine oil. Such micelles may be useful as an anti-friction additive in lubricating oils.
