Abstract:
1. A composition, comprising: a functionalized monomer, which is an alkenoic acid having from about 10 to about 30 carbon atoms and a carbon-carbon double bond between the C 9 and C 10 carbon atoms, and/or an ester thereof, wherein the functionalized monomer is: (a) polymerized to form a functionalized polymer in the presence of a free radical initiator; (b) copolymerized with a comonomer to form a functionalized copolymer in the presence of a free radical initiator; or (c) reacted on the alkenyl group with an enophilic reagent to form a polyfunctionalized monomer, the enophilic reagent comprising an oxidizing agent, a sulfurizing agent, an enophilic acid reagent, an aromatic compound, a hydroxylating agent, a halogenating agent, or a mixture of two or more thereof, the enophilic reagent being reactive towards one or more of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the alkenyl group.
