(Oligomer of Triglyceride of Hydroxylated Fatty Acid and of Saturated Diacid)
The composition according to the present invention comprises (a) at least one oligomer of a triglyceride of hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid If two or more oligomers of a triglyceride of hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid are used, they may be the same or different.
The term “oligomer” here means a polymer in which a relatively small number of monomers are bonded. It is preferable that the number of monomers in the oligomer be 100 or less, more preferably 50 or less, and even more preferably 20 or less.
The (a) oligomer of a triglyceride of hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid can be obtained by the reaction of a triglyceride of a hydroxylated fatty acid (such as hydrogenated castor oil) and of a saturated diacid. The reaction may be esterification. Thus, the (a) oligomer of a triglyceride of hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid may be an oligoester of a hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid.
According to the present invention, the diacid is said to be saturated when the hydrocarbon-based chain from which it is constituted does not have an unsaturated group, i.e. a carbon-carbon double bond. The term “diacid” here means a hydrocarbon-based compound comprising two —COOH carboxyl functions. The diacid can be a single diacid or a mixture of several different diacids.
Likewise, in the meaning of the present invention, the oligomer can be a mixture of several different oligomers.

When the diacid is sebacic acid, X1 represents the linear alkylene group —(CH2)x— where “x” is 8.
The average degree of polymerization of the oligomer may vary between 3 and 12, preferably between 4 and 10.
Thus, the (a) oligomer of a triglyceride of a hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid can be represented by the following formula (C):
wherein
It is preferable that the following group
in the above formula (C) represent the alkyl residue of 12-hydroxystearic acid, and that X1 represent —(CH2)8—.
It is more preferable that the (a) oligomer of a triglyceride of a hydroxylated fatty acid and of a saturated diacid be an oligoester of hydrogenated castor oil and of sebacic acid, i.e., a hydrogenated castor oil/sebacic acid copolymer formed from hydrogenated castor oil and sebacic acid.

Advantageously, the esters of polyol(s) and of fatty diacid dimer, or an ester thereof, which are suitable for use in the present invention may have a viscosity, measured at about 25° C. of greater than or equal to about 1,500 mPa·s.
The viscosity of an ester of polyol(s) and of fatty diacid dimer, or an ester thereof, according to the present invention may be measured according to any process known to those skilled in the art, and for example according to the conventional process described hereinbelow.
The viscosity may be measured using a cone/plate or parallel plate viscometer of Ares type (TA-Instrument) operating in kinetic sweep mode over a shear range of about 1-1,000 s−1 to induce a flow tension of about 1,000 Pa.
The cone/plate or parallel plates may consist of a material selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, acrylic resins or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS resin).
The cone/plate diameter may be 25 mm (cone angle 0.10 radians).
The measurement is performed at about 25° C.
Before any measurement, the stability of the sample is checked by means of the dynamic sweep period test, which makes it possible to determine if the sample is stable per se.
The shear viscosity is determined using the ETA value in the plateau region according to the flow.
The dynamic sweep period is determined at a frequency of 1.0 Hz over a period of 600 seconds.
The measurements at constant sweep rate are performed with a rate ranging from 1.0 to 1,000 s−1 and for example from 1.0 to 100 s−1.
The viscosity of an ester of polyol(s) and of fatty diacid dimer, or an ester thereof, suitable for use in the present invention may range from about 1,500 mPa·s to about 150,000 mPa·s, or for example from about 2,000 mPa·s to about 150,000 mPa·s, or for example from about 15,000 mPa·s to about 100,000 mPa·s or for example from about 30,000 mPa·s to about 80,000 mPa·s.

The esters of diol dimer and of fatty diacid dimer that may be used in the context of the present invention are commercially available or may be prepared in a conventional manner. They may be of plant origin and may be obtained by esterification of diacid dimers with diol dimers.
In an esterification reaction with a diacid dimer, a polyol dicarboxylate is obtained, which may have a weight-average molecular weight, determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), ranging from 2,000 to 25,000 g/mol or for example between 2,000 and 4,000 g/mol.
Diacid Dimer:
The fatty diacid dimers, or diacid dimers, may be conventionally obtained by polymerization reaction, for example by intermolecular dimerization, of at least one unsaturated fatty acid.
They may contain at least two carboxylic acid groups.
As indicated previously, the carboxylic functions of the fatty diacid dimer not engaged in the ester bond with the polyol residue(s) may be engaged in other ester bonds with other alcohol functions of alcohol molecules other than the polyol(s).
These alcohol molecules or residues may be monoalcohols or polyols.
As examples of alcohol residues that are suitable for use in the present invention, mention may be made of hydrocarbon-based compounds comprising a hydroxyl function and containing from 4 to 40 carbon atoms, or for example from 6 to 36 carbon atoms, or for example from 8 to 32 carbon atoms, or for example from 16 to 28 carbon atoms, or for example from 18 to 24 carbon atoms.

The fatty diacid dimers may be derived for example from the dimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid, for example of C8 to C34, or for example of C12 to C22, in particular of C16 to C20 and for example of C18.
As examples of these unsaturated fatty acids, mention may be made for example of undecenoic acid, linderic acid, myristoleic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, elaidinic acid, gadolenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, erucic acid, brassidic acid and arachidonic acid, and mixtures thereof.
According to one embodiment variant, it may be the diacid dimer from which the diol dimer to be esterified may also be derived. It may be its hydrogenated form.
The hydrogenated form of the diacid dimer may be partial or total, and may correspond, for example, to the saturated form, which is more stable towards oxidation.
According to another embodiment variant, it may be the diacid dimer derived from the dimerization of linoleic acid.
According to one embodiment, the diacid dimer may be a commercial product consisting of a dicarboxylic acid containing about 36 carbon atoms. This product may also contain a trimeric acid and a monomeric acid, in proportions that depend on the degree of purity of the product.
Products whose diacid dimer content may be greater than 70% and others whose diacid dimer content has been adjusted to 90% or more are conventionally found commercially.
Diacid dimers, and for example dilinoleic diacids whose stability towards oxidation has been improved by hydrogenation of the double bonds remaining after the dimerization reaction, may also be found commercially.
In the present invention, any diacid dimer that is currently commercially available may be used.
In an esterification reaction with a diacid dimer, the average degree of esterification and the average molecular weight of the ester obtained may be adjusted by varying the ratio of the diol dimer to the diacid dimer.
Polyols:
The term “polyol” is intended to denote any hydrocarbon-based compound comprising at least two hydroxyl functions and containing from 4 to 40 carbon atoms, or for example from 6 to 36 carbon atoms, or for example from 8 to 32 carbon atoms, or for example from 16 to 28 carbon atoms and for example from 18 to 24 carbon atoms.
The hydrocarbon-based chains may be interrupted, where appropriate, by the presence of at least one heteroatom, and for example an oxygen atom.
A polyol or a polyol ester that is suitable for use in the present invention may comprise, for example, from 2 to 12 hydroxyl functions, or for example from 2 to 8 hydroxyl functions, or for example from 4 to 6 hydroxyl functions.
Where appropriate, the hydroxyl functions, other than those already employed in an ester bond with the diacid dimer, may also be employed, wholly or partly in other ester bonds via reaction with acid molecules other than the diacid dimer.
The polyol or an ester thereof that is suitable for use in the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of linear, branched, cyclic or polycyclic, saturated or unsaturated alcohols.
Thus, the polyol may be selected, for example, from the group consisting of a diol, a triol, a tetraol, or a pentaol, or an ester thereof.
The polyol may be a diol, or an ester thereof, selected for example from the group consisting of a fatty alcohol dimer, a monoglycerol or polyglycerol, a C2-C4 monoalkylene or polyalkylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol and pentaerythritol.
As examples of diols that are also suitable for use in the present invention, mention may be made, in a non-exhaustive manner, of butanediol, pentanediol, propanediol, hexanediol, hexylene glycol, heptanediol, octanediol, nonanediol, decanediol, 1-decanediol, dodecanediol, tridecanediol, tetradecanediol, pentadecanediol, hexadecanediol, nonadecanediol, octadecanediol, cyclohexanediol, diglycerol, erythritol, pentaerythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, ethylene glycol and xylene glycol, and isomers thereof.
According to one variant, as an example of diols that are suitable for use in the present invention, mention may be made of diol dimers.
For the purposes of the present invention, the term “diol dimer” is intended to mean saturated diols derived from the hydrogenation of the corresponding diacid dimers, a diacid dimer being as defined above, and for example a diacid dimer of at least one unsaturated fatty acid.
As regards the industrially manufactured diol dimer, it also generally contains other components, for example a triol trimer, a monoalcohol and compounds of ether type, according to the degree of purification of the acid dimer and/or of the lower alcohol ester thereof, used as starting material.
Generally, products whose diol dimer content is greater than 70% may be used in the present invention. However, one may use a diol dimer of high purity, such as a compound whose diol dimer content is greater than 90%.
Thus, a diol dimer may be produced by hydrogenation, for example catalytic hydrogenation, of a diacid dimer, which is itself obtained by dimerization of at least one unsaturated fatty acid.
A suitable fatty acid may be such as those mentioned previously, and for example of C8 to C34, or for example of C12 to C22, or for example of C16 to C20 and more particularly of C18.
According to one embodiment, the diol dimer may be derived from the hydrogenation of dilinoleic diacid.
A diol dimer may be, for example, dilinoleol.
The diol dimer may generally be in a saturated form.
As another example of a diol dimer that is suitable for use in the present invention, mention may be made for example of diglycerol.
This compound is a glycerol dimer resulting from the condensation of two molecules of glycerol, with the loss of a water molecule.
The term “diglycerol” denotes any isomer combination that can result from such a condensation, for instance linear isomers, branched isomers and, where appropriate, cyclic isomers resulting from an intramolecular dehydration of a diglycerol molecule.
The diglycerol may be obtained via any process known to those skilled in the art and especially those described in patent EP 0 750 848.
As examples of acid molecules that can interact with one or more hydroxyl functions of the polyol, not engaged in the ester bond with the diacid dimer, mention may be made, in a non-limiting manner, of molecules derived from isostearic acid, behenic acid, phytostearic acid, stearic acid or cetylic acid.
An ester that is suitable for use in the present invention may be obtained by reacting a polyol or an ester thereof with a diacid dimer, and for example a dimerdilinoleic acid, in a molar ratio of about 1.0:0.2-1.
An ester that may be suitable for use in the present invention may be obtained by reacting a dimerdilinoleic acid with a dilinoleol and, where appropriate, at least one additional monoalcohol selected for example from the group consisting of behenol, isostearol, phytosterol, stearol and cetol, and mixtures thereof.
Thus, an ester used in the context of the present invention may be used in the form of a mixture of various esters, for example.
An ester that is suitable for use in the present invention may be obtained, for example, by reacting a glycerol, an isostearic acid and a dimerdilinoleic acid, for example in a molar ratio of 1.0:0.2-1.0:0.5-0.9.
