The natural liquid potassium soap compositions may contain one or more fatty acids with carbon length ranging from four (C4) to twenty-two (C22) or natural fatty acid mixtures with coconut oil, olive oil, tallow, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and/or tall oil fatty acids which are saponified with lye. The saponification lye is preferably potassium hydroxide. Preferred embodiments contain potassium salts of fatty acids comprising at least oleic acid (C18:1 cis-9), olive oils, coconut oils or mixtures thereof. The chloride salt is added in either solid or liquid form following saponification and neutralization.

A silicone grease composition having high friction characteristics and wear characteristics is disclosed. The silicone grease composition is provided by adding a zinc salt (B) containing, at a mass ratio from 1:99 to 99:1, a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (B1) and a zinc dialkyldithiocarbamate (B2) as an extreme-pressure additive to a silicone oil (A). A method for transmitting torque of a clutch or a torque limiter mechanism is also disclosed.

The present invention provides a paper ball-like graphene microsphere, a composite material thereof, and a preparation method therefor. Such paper ball-like graphene microspheres are obtained by chemically reducing graphene oxide microspheres to slowly remove oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the graphene oxide to avoid the volume expansion caused by rapid removal of the groups, thereby maintaining a tight bond between graphene sheets without separation; and removing the remaining small number of oxygen-containing functional groups and repairing defect structures in the graphene oxide sheets by means of high temperature treatment, such that the graphene structure becomes perfect at an ultrahigh temperature (2500 to 3000 C.) thereby further improving the bonding ability between the graphene sheets in the microspheres and achieving a dense structure.

Natural soap compositions and methods of manufacturing the same having anti-microbial properties for treating and preventing diaper rash and other microbial infections. The soap compositions may contain one or more fatty acids with carbon length ranging from four (C4) to twenty-two (C22) and/or natural fatty acid mixtures of coconut oil, olive oil, and/or tall oil fatty acids which are saponified with lye. The saponification lye may be sodium or potassium hydroxide. In preferred embodiments, the soap compositions contain at least one of sodium or potassium caprate, sodium or potassium caprylate, or mixtures thereof, especially 55:45% caprylate to caprate. The soap compositions are effective at treating or preventing diaper rashes and other microbial infections associated with Candida albicans (Cayeast), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Psaa Gram negative bacteria), Staphylococcus aureus (Saa Gram positive bacteria), and Aspergillus niger (Ana mold).

This disclosure relates to grease compositions having at least one base oil, at least one soap or non-soap thickener, and at least one elastomeric triblock copolymer of the general configuration A-B-A, in which A is a relatively hydrophobic polymer block and B is a relatively hydrophilic polymer block, and in which A forms less than 50% by weight of the total molecular weight of the elastomeric triblock copolymer. When the grease compositions are used under high shear conditions, structural stability and resistance to breaking down in accordance with ASTM D7342 is improved. When the grease compositions are used in low temperature conditions, low temperature starting and running torque in accordance with ASTM D1478 is improved.
