Patent ID: 8217128

Claim:
A farnesene interpolymer comprising one or more polymer molecules having formula (X′): X n — Y m (X′), wherein each of n and m is independently an integer from 1 to about 100,000; X is derived from a farnesene and has one or more of formulae (I′)-(VIII′): and Y has formula (IX′): wherein R 1 has formula (XI): R 2 has formula (XII): R 3 has formula (XIII): and R 4 has formula (XIV): wherein each of R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 is independently H, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heterocyclyl, substituted heterocyclyl or a functional group containing O, N, S, P or a combination thereof, wherein the farnesene is α-farnesene or β-farnesene or a combination thereof, wherein an amount of the farnesene is greater than 20 mole %, based on the total amount of the farnesene interpolymer, wherein none of R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 of formula (IX′) is or comprises alkenyl, cycloalkenyl or alkynyl, and wherein an amount of formula (I′) is at most about 80 wt.%, based on a total weight of the farnesene interpolymer.
