Description

A MODIFIED MALEATED NATURAL OIL CONTAINING A LACTAM MOIETY, SALTS, COMPOSITIONS, AND USE THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present application relates to a renewable, modified natural oil containing a lactam moiety, salts, and compositions thereof, that exhibit improved physical properties, and more particularly, to a reaction product of (A) a maleated natural oil, comprising a natural oil with maleated functionality; (B) a lactam moiety having at least one hydroxyl, thiol or amine functional group, and (C) a base. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Natural oils, such as soybean and linseed oils, are one of the most promising raw materials for the synthesis of renewable compounds, including polymers, plastics, and plasticizers. These natural materials are inexpensive, highly abundant, come from reliable and sustainable sources, and have high potential for modification. Natural oils are generally blends of different triglycerides, the esterification product of fatty acids and glycerol, and contain varying degrees of unsaturation (i.e., double bonds). Oils can be characterized by a hydroxyl value and the fatty acid compositions. Both natural fatty acids and natural oils must be chemically modified to make them sufficiently reactive to allow structural alterations and polymerizations to occur because the olefin functional groups are relatively unreactive. Unsaturated double bonds in these compounds have been converted to epoxide functional groups and succinic anhydride functional groups, allowing the addition of many hydroxyl containing species to be introduced into the natural oils. [0003] Modified natural oils are natural oils that have been chemically functionalized by the chemical addition of epoxide (oxirane) and succinic anhydride functional groups. Examples include epoxidized and maleated soybean oil and linseed oil, unsaturated natural oils lend themselves to these chemical functionalizations. [0004] US Patent 9809538B2 describes a modified natural compound synthesized from epoxidized natural fatty acid, maleated natural fatty acid, epoxidized natural oil, or maleated natural oil; and lactam compound with hydroxyl(s) to form e.g., adhesive or beverage composition.

[0006] A discussion of reaction scheme for the maleation reaction in the vegetable oil is provided in the article “Microwave Assisted Syntheses of Vegetable Oil Based Monomer,” by Rafael T. Alarcon et al., published in Journal of Polymers and the Environment 28:1265–1278, 2020.

Musa in chapter 3 page 166, published in Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. [0008] US Patent 2754306A describes a reaction with a soybean oil, maleic anhydride and iso- octyl alcohol to provide an improved plasticizer for nitrocellulose compositions. [0009] PCT Application 2019113068A1 and 2005071050A1 describe a technology related to metalworking fluids comprising maleated soybean oil derivatives. [0010] A discussion of maleic anhydride polymerization and modified plant oils with polyols is provided in the article “Polymerization of Maleic Anhydride–Modified Plant Oils with Polyols,” by Tarik Eren, Selim H. Kusefoglu, Richard Wool published in Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Barcelona, Volume 90, Issue 1, Pages 197-202, 2003. [0011] EP Patent 2754306A describes an adhesive containing a polycondensate and a dienophile modified fatty acid as a cross-linking agent. [0012] PCT Application 2005071050A1 describes a metalworking fluid comprising oil in water emulsion from a reaction product of maleic anhydride and a triglyceride oil from a plant or land animal and further reacted with water, Group IA and IIA metals, ammonium hydroxide, various amines, alkanolamines, polyols, alkoxylated alkanolamines, poly (alkylene oxide)s, or polyamines or mixtures. [0013] Despite the renewability, biodegradability, sustainability, and beneficial functions provided by natural fatty acids, natural oils and their maleated counterparts, they exhibit properties that can limit their application. For example, both ESO and maleated soybean oil are insoluble and non-dispersible in water or alcohols. As a result, these fatty acids and oils may tend to exude or phase-separate from formulated compositions. This feature makes their formulation more difficult, often requiring additional ingredients to facilitate solutions, emulsions, or dispersions. Natural and epoxidized/maleated natural oils may not impart the desired property needed in end- uses, such as solubilization capability, glass transition, flexibility, shine, and/or plasticization. Consequently, the performance (including, but are not limited to stability, resistance to phase separation, absorption, clean-up, solubility potential, staining potential, lubrication, film formation, uniformity of spreading, comedogenic tendency, ease of removal,) and aesthetic qualities (such as skin-feel, greasiness, shiny appearance) may be less than desired. Finally, although such fatty acids and oils are an important renewable material, they are not always the formulator’s first choice, and, in fact, often are not considered at all. [0014] Accordingly, there is a need for materials that are renewable, natural, and biodegradable having different and controllable chemical, physical, and/or mechanical properties such that the limitations found in natural and maleated natural oils are minimized or eliminated.

[0046] As used herein the terms, “maleated natural oil” or “natural oil with maleated functionality”, can be used interchangeable without limiting the scope of the present disclosure, and refer to natural oil comprising at least one maleated functionality. Accordingly, the term "maleation" or "maleated" as used hereafter should be understood to mean "functionalization" insofar as the use of functionalizing reagents other than maleic anhydride are contemplated for use in the process of the invention. [0047] As used herein, the term “moiety” or “moieties” refers to a part or a functional group(s) of a molecule. [0048] The term, “maleated functionality” refers to moieties formed by attaching maleic anhydride to unsaturated fatty acyl chains, found in natural oils, by ene reaction. “Maleated functionality” includes but is not limited to the cyclic anhydride form (I), the diacid form (II), the disodium dicarboxylate form (III), other dicarboxylate salt forms, and the half ester form (IV).
