Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Toluene (15 g), behenyl acrylate (15 g), lauryl methacrylate (2 g), and styrene (2 g) are charged to a reactor equipped with a stirrer, a heater, a thermometer, and a nitrogen-bubbling duct. The reactor is flushed with nitrogen gas and sealed. The reactor is heated to 60° C. and 2,2′-azobis(2-methyl, ethyl-propionitrile) (0.06 g) is added. The reaction mixture is heated in the closed system at 85° C. for three hours to provide behenyl acrylate/lauryl methacrylate/styrene polymer having a number average molecular weight 34,600 Daltons with polydispersity 2.1. The viscosity of the polymer is 40 cP at 20° C. as a 40% solution in toluene.
