Abstract
Polymers comprising blocks of a hydrogenated conjugated diene (B), a vinylarene (A), and an alkyl methacrylate (M), are readily prepared as a mixture of molecules having the structures B-A-M and B-A-M-A-B wherein both structures are effective as viscosity index improvers for oil compositions. Reaction of the polymers with a primary or secondary amine results in a dispersant viscosity index improver.
