Copolymer That Can Be Used As Detergent Additive For Fuel

Abstract: COPOLYMER THAT CAN BE USED AS DETERGENT ADDITIVE FOR FUEL The invention relates to a block copolymer comprising: - at least one block A of following formula (I): R2" (I) in which p is an integer ranging from 2 to 100, R1" is selected from hydrogen and the methyl group, R2" is chosen from C1 to C34 hydrocarbon-based chains, - at least one block B of following formula (II): R1 i (II) in which n is an integer ranging from 2 to 40, R1 is chosen from hydrogen and the methyl group, Z is chosen from the oxygen atom and the group -NR- with R" being chosen from a hydrogen atom and C1 to C12 hydrocarbon-based chains, G is a C1 to C34 hydrocarbon-based chain substituted by at least one quaternary ammonium group and optionally one or more hydroxyl groups. The invention also relates to the use of such a block copolymer as detergent additive in an internal combustion engine liquid fuel.
