Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and products, such as waxes and lubricants, comprising a plurality of nanoparticles dispersed in a continuous phase comprising a vegetable oil derived material, such as one or more vegetable oils or a synthetic product derived from one or more vegetable oils. Incorporation of nanoparticles in the present compositions is beneficial for providing mechanical, thermal and/or chemical properties useful for a selected product or product application. In some compositions of the present invention, for example, incorporation of the nanoparticle component provides compositions derived from one or more vegetable oils exhibiting enhanced mechanical stability, hardness, viscosity, thermal stability and mechanical strength.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a grease composition capable of effectively preventing a rolling surface from having hydrogen brittleness-caused peeling, a grease-enclosed bearing in which the grease composition is enclosed, and a one-way clutch in which the grease composition is enclosed at a sliding portion. The grease composition contains a base grease consisting of a base oil and a thickener and an additive added to the base grease. The grease composition is capable of preventing hydrogen brittleness-caused peeling from occurring on a frictionally worn surface of a bearing portion containing an iron-based metal material or a newly generated surface consisting of the iron-based metal material exposed owing to wear. The additive contains at least one aluminum-based additive selected from among an aluminum powder and inorganic aluminum compounds. The mixing ratio of the aluminum-based additive to 100 parts by weight of the base grease is set to 0.05 to 10 parts by weight.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel use of nanomaterials as a viscosity modifier and thermal conductivity improver for gear oil and other lubricating oil compositions. The gear oils of the instant invention have a higher viscosity index, higher shear stability, and improved thermal conductivity compared to currently available gear oils. The preferred nanoparticles also impart a reduction in the coefficient of friction, including reduced friction in the boundary lubrication regime. These properties are obtained by replacing part or all of the polymer thickener or viscosity index improver or some other part of the composition normally used in gear oils with nanomaterials of suitable shape, size, and composition.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an overbased vaterite containing composition, comprising: a disperse medium, and a calcium salt and calcium carbonate dispersed in the disperse medium, at least about 50% by weight of the calcium carbonate being in the form of vaterite, the composition being substantially haze free.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a grease composition capable of effectively preventing a rolling surface of a bearing from having hydrogen brittleness-caused peeling, a grease-enclosed bearing in which the grease composition is enclosed, and a rotation-transmitting apparatus with a built-in one-way clutch in which the grease composition is enclosed at a sliding portion. The grease composition contains a base grease consisting of a base oil and a thickener; and an additive added to the base grease. The grease composition prevents a frictional wear surface of the sliding portion or a newly generated surface consisting of iron or the like exposed owing to wear from being peeled owing to hydrogen brittleness. The additive contains a bismuth-based additive or a magnesium-based additive. The bismuth-based additive consists of at least one of inorganic bismuth and organic bismuth not containing a sulfur component. The magnesium-based additive consists of at least one of inorganic magnesium and organic magnesium. The grease-enclosed bearing encloses the above-described grease composition.
