Abstract:
A process for making a silica-polyolefin composite. The process has the steps of (a) reacting silica particles and an alkyl halosilane in the presence of a solvent and a catalyst to form silane-functionalized silica particles and (b) reacting the silane-functionalized silica particles with a vinyl-terminated polyolefin. There are other processes for making a silica-polyolefin composites. There are other processes for making metal phosphate-polyolefin composites.
Abstract:
A composition that includes one or more compounds represented by the formula (R1)a(X)(R2)b wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and are the residue of an alkyl group having from 4 to 40 carbon atoms, X is the residue of an aliphatic polythiol, aromatic polythiol, cycloaliphatic polythiol, ester or acid containing thiol, or ester or acid containing polythiol, a is a value from 1 to 6, and b is a value from 0 to 6. The composition has a viscosity (Kv100) from 2 to 30 at 100° C., a viscosity index (VI) from 100 to 200, and a Noack volatility of no greater than 20 percent. The disclosure also relates to a process for producing the composition, a lubricating oil base stock and lubricating oil containing the composition, and a method thr improving one or more of solubility and dispersancy of polar additives in a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil containing the composition.
Abstract:
A process for producing a high viscosity functionalized metallocene polyalphaolefin (mPAO) fluid. The process includes providing a mPAO having a terminal double bond, said mPAO produced by the metallocene-catalyzed oligomerization or polymerization of an alpha-olefin feed; providing at least one of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl thiol, aryl thiol, diphenylamine or naphthalene; and reacting, optionally in the presence of a catalyst or initiator, the mPAO having a terminal double bond with at least one of the substituted or unsubstituted alkyl thiol, aryl thiol, diphenylamine or naphthalene, under reaction conditions sufficient to produce the functionalized high viscosity mPAO fluid. The functionalized mPAO fluid has, as synthesized, a viscosity (Kv100) from 135 to 900 cSt at 100° C.; a viscosity index (VI) greater than 150; a pour point (PP) less than −25° C.; a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) less than 2.0; a residual unsaturation (Bromine Number) less than 2.0; and a glass transition temperature Tg less than −30° C.
