The most common VI improvers are methacrylate polymers and copolymers, acrylate polymers (see Acrylic ester polymers), olefin polymers and copolymers, and styrene—butadiene copolymers. The degree of VI improvement from these materials is a function of the molecular weight distribution of the polymer. VI improvers are used in engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, multipurpose tractor fluids, hydrautic fluids, and gear lubricants. Their use permits the formulation of products that provide satisfactory lubrication over a much wider temperature range than is possible using mineral oils alone. 

Acrylic ESTER POLYMERS Acrylonitrile POLYMERS Cellulose esters). Engineering plastics (qv) such as acetal resins (qv), polyamides (qv), polycarbonate (qv), polyesters (qv), and poly(phenylene sulfide), and advanced materials such as Hquid crystal polymers, polysulfone, and polyetheretherketone are used in high performance appHcations they are processed at higher temperatures than their commodity counterparts (see Polymers containing sulfur). 

The polymeric materials found wide application in various branches of a science and engineering, polymers on a basis acrylic acids are. Many of them are known under the technical name "glassy organically".

Intermediates consist of ABS, SAN, PMMA (acrylics) and engineering derivatives of cellulose like CAB (cellulose acetate butyrate), their relative price reaching around 2 (on the basis of PE as unity). Some consider these polymers at the low range of engineering polymers, due to their physical properties. (PP is frequently sorted as such.)...

The major types of impact modifiers are acrylics, styrenics including methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) copolymers and Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Polymers, chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), EVA copolymers, and the ethylene-propylene copolymers and terpolymers (EPR and EPDM respectively). The major market for impact modifiers is in PVC, although they are used in a wide range of other polymers such as polyolefins and engineering polymers.

Koppers Company produced SMA-type molding powders under the trade name of Dylark but this business was acquired by Arco which continues to produce these SMA type products. Monsanto has extended the SMA terpolymer investigation to Include random copolymers and alternating copolymers in which the copolymers with SMA are acrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate, Isobutylene, methyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate (20). These terpolymers (S/MA/X) and rubber modified Cadon have created an entire new family of engineering polymers (21). New patents have been issued for both glassy terpolymers and rubber modified S/MA/AN (22, 23). As might be expected, the incompatable blends are characterized by two glass transition temperatures (Tg) (24). 

Core-shell impact modifiers have also been reported as impact modifiers for engineering polymers. MBS impact modifiers with a SBR core, a polystyrene middle layer and an outer layer of MMA copolymers with glycidyl methacrylate, acrylamide or methacrylic acid functional monomers were evaluated in PC/PBT blends [104]. Optimal results were obtained with 60 wt% SBR content in the MBS and a modest amoimt of a functional monomer in the MMA copolymer shell. Core-shell impact modification of polycarbonate [105] (PMMA grafted on poly(n-butyl acrylate) and PBT[106] (SAN grafted onto a butadiene based rubber) have been reported. A comprehensive review of core-sheU impact modification of various polymers (PMMA, PVC, PC, PBT, PET, polyamides, thermoplastic blends, thermosets) has been presented by Cruz-Ramos [107].

PBT has the highest continuous use temperature of the engineering polymers, followed by polycarbonate, POM, polyamide, ABS and acrylics. PPO/PPE alloys are often considered to be high performance materials due to their excellent combination of properties such as high impact strength and dimensional stability, although their continuous use temperature is lower than some engineering plastics.

A large number of hindered phenoHc antioxidants are based on the Michael addition of 2,6-di-/ f2 -butylphenol and methyl acrylate under basic catalysis to yield the hydrocinnamate which is a basic building block used in the production of octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-/ f2 butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, [2082-79-3], tetrakis(methylene-3(3,5-di-/ f2 butyl-4-hydroxylphenyl)propionate)methane [6683-19-8], and many others (63,64). These hindered phenolic antioxidants are the most widely used primary stabilizers in the world and are used in polyolefins, synthetic and natural mbber, styrenics, vinyl polymers, and engineering resins. 2,6-Di-/ f2 -butylphenol is converted to a methylene isocyanate which is trimerized to a triazine derivative...
