Monomer Sequence Architecture Tunes the Performance of Poly(octadecyl acrylate- co -styrene) Pour Point Depressants in Waxy Oils

Abstract Monomer sequence architecture is an underexplored design parameter for polymeric pour point depressants (PPDs). Here, octadecyl acrylate-styrene (OA-St) copolymers with statistical, block, and gradient architectures were synthesized by free-radical and reversible additio...
