Abstract:
A preparation method of a chelated lithium molybdate lubricant additive includes: adding kaolin and HDTMS into deionized water, performing magnetic stirring and ultrasonic treatment, then stirring to perform a reaction, and after the reaction is finished, filtering, washing and drying a reaction product to obtain alkylated kaolin; adding the alkylated kaolin and APTMS into deionized water, performing magnetic stirring and ultrasonic treatment, then stirring to perform a reaction, and after the reaction is finished, centrifuging, washing and drying a reaction product to obtain amino/alkylated kaolin; adding the amino/alkylated kaolin into a chelated lithium molybdate ionic liquid, stirring for a reaction, and after the reaction is finished, filtering, washing and drying a reaction product to obtain the chelated lithium molybdate lubricant additive. The prepared lubricant additive has good dispersibility in base oil, and performs well in friction reduction and anti-wear.
Abstract:
The presently disclosed technology relates to a nano-additives to improve the performance of lubricants, oils, and greases. More specifically, the presently disclosed technology relates to applying capped metal oxide nanoparticles, such as capped zirconia nanoparticles, in the lubricants to produce a tribofilms on the lubricating surfaces to provide wear protection to the said surfaces. Also, the interaction of the capped zirconia nanoparticles with other commonly used additives in lubricants may further optimize the performance of the resulting tribofilms.
Abstract:
An industrial lubricant composition including an oil base selected from the group consisting of vegetable oil, Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV, Group V and combinations thereof and a phosphorus-based non-chlorine additive. The industrial lubricant also includes at least one intercalation compound of a metal chalcogenide, a carbon containing compound and a boron containing compound, wherein the intercalation compound may have a geometry that is a platelet shaped geometry, a spherical shaped geometry, a multi-layered fullerene-like geometry, a tubular-like geometry or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
GER fluids are improved by the addition of a polar molecule additive. By addition of a polar molecule additive, yield stresses under electric field are improved by over 50% while the current density is reduced to less than a quarter of the original GER. The reversible response time still remains the same, and the sedimentation stability is greatly enhanced. The zero field viscosity of the modified GER fluid remains the same as that of the original GER fluid without the additive. The improved GER characteristics improve general functionality as an electrical-mechanical interface, attendant with applications to car clutches, fluid brakes, and vehicle shock absorbers.
Abstract:
A subject of the invention is a lubricating grease, characterized in that it contains: from 70 to 95% by weight of a mixture comprising at least a first ester of fatty acid and of sorbitan and at least a second ester of fatty acid and of polyoxyalkylated sorbitan, these esters being present in quantities by weight, relative to the weight of the said mixture, of 10 to 90% and 90 to 10%, respectively; and from 5 to 30% by weight of at least one thickening agent. A subject of the invention is also a preparation process for a grease according to the invention, as well as use as a lubricant of such a grease. A subject of the invention is also a vehicle wheel containing a grease according to the invention.
Abstract:
An open gear lubricant has a lubricant base comprising a major amount of a vegetable oil and a minor amount of a solid inorganic lubricant, thickened with a bidegradable organoclay gellant.
Abstract:
An organophilic clay thickener for natural oil systems comprising the reaction product of a smectite-type clay and an organic cation in an amount of from about 75% to about 150% of the cation exchange capacity of the smectite-type clay. Said organophilic clay comprising at least one naturally occurring, resulting in increased efficiency as a thickener in natural oil systems.
Abstract:
Lubricant composition containing spherical particles of a ceramic material dispersed in a supporting vehicle. The composition is used as a lubricant, metalworking cooling fluid, drilling fluid or drilling mud.
Abstract:
A water-soluble cutting fluid is produced by dissolving a polymer fatty acid triglyceride imidazole, 2-methyl-1-stearate, and boric acid imidazole in the dispersion of inorganic bentonite in water thereby preparing a main component and adding oleic acid (agent for enhancing the lubricity), Na salt of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (metallic ion adsorbent), benzotriazole (rust-preventing auxiliary agent), and a silicone type defoaming agent to the main component.
Abstract:
The invention provides composites of organic polymeric compositions including a matrix of an organic polymer and a filler distributed throughout the matrix, the flier being present in the matrix substantially as separate particles, each about the fundamental particle size of the filler. The fillers are unique mixed metal hydroxide compositions that are obtainable in sub-micron size particles. These particles are layered and have a BET specific surface area in excess of about 100 m.sup.2 /g. An anion of the particulates is selected to be compatible with the organic polymer thereby providing ease of dispersion of the filler particles throughout the polymer matrix.
