A composition is obtained by mixing at least one oligomer A1, which is obtained by copolymerizing at least two monomers functionalized by diol functions with at least one second monomer, with at least one compound A2 having at least two boron ester functions. The compositions exhibit very varied rheological properties depending on the proportion of the compounds A1 and A2 used. A composition is also obtained by mixing at least one lubricating oil with such a composition of associative and exchangeable polymers, and the use of this composition to lubricate a mechanical part.

Hydrogenated polymers with a radial structure having a core made up of calixarenes of the general formula (I), to the core of which is linked a number P of hydrogenated linear polymer segments selected from: —hydrogenated homopolymers or co-polymers of conjugated dienes; or—hydrogenated co-polymers of said conjugated dienes and monoalkenyl arenes, and—mixtures thereof said formula (I) in which: —R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently selected from hydrogen; a group containing carbon and hydrogen; a group also containing heteroatoms in addition to carbon and hydrogen; a group also containing silicon in addition to carbon, hydrogen and heteroatoms; —one of the two substituents R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 is hydrogen, while the other may be hydrogen or alkyl, with a number of carbon atoms between 1 and 6, preferably methyl and ethyl; —n is an integer in the range between 4 and 16. ##STR00001##

The present invention generally relates to lubricating oil compositions useful for reducing NOACK volatility in finished lubricating oils of an internal combustion engine. Also disclosed is a method for reducing NOACK volatility in finished lubricating oils in said engine.

A product resulting from the reaction of at least: a hydroxybenzoic acid, optionally substituted by a hydrocarbyl group, a boron compound, an amine component selected from a di-fatty-alkyl(ene) polyalkylamine composition including one or more polyalkylamines of formulae (I) or (II). A lubricant composition includes this product. Use of this product as a lubricant for two-stroke marine engines and four-stroke marine engines, more preferably two-stroke marine engines.

Compositions resulting from the mixing of at least one oligomer A1, resulting from the copolymerization of at least one monomer functionalized by diol functions with at least a second monomer, and at least one compound A2 including at least two boronic ester functions. The compositions exhibit very varied rheological properties, depending on the proportion of the compounds A1 and A2 used. A composition also results from mixing at least one lubricating oil with such a composition of associative and exchangeable polymers, and to the use of this composition to lubricate a mechanical part.

The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

The invention relates to polymeric-inorganic nanoparticle compositions and preparation processes thereof. The invention also relates to an additive and lubricant composition comprising these polymeric-inorganic nanoparticle compositions, as well as to the use of these polymeric-inorganic nanoparticle compositions in an oil lubricant formulation to improve tribological performance, in particular to improve anti-friction performance on metal parts.
