The present invention is related to formulations including one or more block copolymers with low polydispersity and bifunctionalized with amines, and an ionic liquid. A method of demulsifying, dehydrating, and desalting crude oils having API gravity ranging between 8 to 30 admixes the formulation with the crude oil in an amount effective to demulsify, dehydrate and/or desalt the crude oils.

Provided herein are polymeric -hydroxy aldehyde or -hydroxy ketone reagents which can be conjugated to amine-containing compounds to form stable conjugates in a single-step reaction. In selected embodiments, the polymeric reagent itself incorporates an internal proton-abstracting (basic) functional group, to promote more efficient reaction. The substituent is appropriately situated, via a linker if necessary, to position the group for proton abstraction, preferably providing a 4- or 5-bond spacing between the abstracting atom and the hydrogen atom on the -carbon. Also provided are methods of using the reagents and stable, solubilized conjugates of the reagents with biologically active compounds. In preferred embodiments, the polymeric component of the reagent or conjugate is a polyethylene glycol.

Methods are provided for producing bio-oil polyols, alkoxylating bio-oil polyols to provide polyols, and for employing the alkoxylated bio-oil polyols for making polymers or copolymers of polyesters or polyurethanes.

The present invention relates to a double metal cyanide (DMC) complex catalyst with an improved catalytic activity useful for epoxide polymerization. It also relates to polyether polyols prepared by a polymerization reaction using said DMC catalyst.

Coating compositions can be prepared from an acrylic grafted polyether resin, wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin has a molecular weight greater than about 500, and wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin does not comprise two or more non-impaired hydroxyl groups attached to two or more different five-membered or six-membered carbon atom rings in a segment having a molecular weight less than about 500. The acrylic grafted polyether resin can be prepared by reacting a dihydroxyl compound and/or a diamine compound with a phenol stearic acid compound to produce a diphenol, reacting the diphenol with a diglycidyl ether compound to form a polyether resin, and mixing the polyether resin with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of an initiator to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin.
