1. A composition comprising:
at least one estolide compound; and at least one compound selected from compounds of Formula I: wherein X is selected from optionally substituted C2 to C12 alkylene that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched; X′ and Y′, independently for each occurrence, are selected from an optionally substituted alkylene that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched; Y is selected from optionally substituted C1 to C20 alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched; U and U′, independently for each occurrence, are selected from hydrogen and —C(═O)OR7, wherein at least one of U and U′ is selected from —C(═O)OR7; and R7 and R8, independently for each occurrence, are selected from hydrogen and optionally substituted alkyl that is saturated or unsaturated, and branched or unbranched, wherein the dashed line represents a single bond or a double bond.
