Ethylene-C.sub.3-C.sub.10 alpha olefin copolymers, dispersants and lubricating oils/fuel compositions incorporating dispersants, and related methods are generally described herein. The copolymer may comprise ethylene-derived units and C.sub.3-C.sub.10 alpha-olefin-derived units. The C.sub.3-C.sub.10 alpha-olefin-derived units may have a carbon number from three to ten. For example, the C.sub.3-C.sub.10 alpha-olefin-derived units may be propylene-derived units. The dispersants may be made from copolymers having low metal and/or fluorine contents.

Disclosed are oral care compositions of novel phosphono-phosphate and anionic group containing polymer compositions that have targeted uses with divalent cations and surfaces having divalent cations. These compounds can be used to deliver anionic character to surfaces such as calcium hydroxyapatite for use in oral care applications.

An acrylic resin composition includes an acrylic resin and a graft copolymer. The graft copolymer includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is a soft polymer (B) having, as structural units, a monomer mixture (b) containing 40 to 99 wt % of an alkyl acrylate ester, 1 to 60 wt % of benzyl (meth)acrylate, and 0 to 40 wt % of another monomer and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a polyfunctional monomer; and the outer layer is a hard polymer (C) having, as structural units, a monomer mixture (c) containing 60 to 100 wt % of an alkyl methacrylate ester, 0 to 10 wt % of benzyl (meth)acrylate, and 40 to 0 w % of another monomer and 0 to 10 parts by weight of a polyfunctional monomer.
