“…For the synthesis and analysis of polymer samples, we used the methods that were previously developed for homopolymers and copolymers of higher alkyl methacrylates and alkyl acrylates [20,21] as well as their copolymers with amine-containing methacrylic esters and amides [22], N-alkyl (meth)acrylamides [23], AOEGM [24], and VBE [15]. For the purposes of the comparative assessment of dispersion properties, we also tested, under similar conditions, a number of commercial additives, specifically: polymethacrylate viscosity index improvers Viscoplex 0-220 and Viscoplex 7-610, polymethacrylate dispersant/VII Viscoplex 12-310 (all manufactured by Evonik RohMaX Additives GmbH), succinimide dispersant S-40 (NPP Qualitet, Russia), and thickener Syntolux V-15 (SOVKHIMTEKH, Russia; this represents a VBE homopolymer).…”
