This present application relates to microcapsules or compositions containing microcapsules wherein the microcapsules comprise a polymerizable lactamic copolymer. More particularly, certain aspects are directed to the use of polymerizable lactamic copolymers in the formation of coatings on microencapsulated particles. These polymerizable lactamic copolymers can result in surface modified microencapsulated particles that may be anionic, non-ionic, or cationic.

A threaded joint for pipes disclosed herein includes a pin and a box. The pin and the box each include a contact surface including a threaded portion and a metal contact portion. The threaded joint for pipes includes a solid lubricant coating on at least one of the contact surfaces of the pin and the box, the solid lubricant coating including a binder, a lubricant additive, an anti-rust additive, and a plasticizer.

The invention relates to polymeric-inorganic nanoparticle compositions and preparation processes thereof. The invention also relates to an additive and lubricant compositions 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 extreme pressure performance and friction reduction on metal parts.
