Ethylene-C 3 -C 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 3 -C 10 alpha-olefin-derived units. The C 3 -C 10 alpha-olefin-derived units may have a carbon number from three to ten. For example, the C 3 -C 10 alpha-olefin-derived units may be propylene-derived units. The dispersants may be made from copolymers having low metal and/or fluorine contents. |
