Provided herein are olefinic feedstocks derived from conjugated hydrocarbon terpenes (e.g., C.sub.10-C.sub.30 terpenes), methods for making the same, and methods for their use.

Compositions having a plurality of nanoparticles and nano-sheets are disclosed. Methods of making and using the compositions are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a process for the conversion of a low molecular weight polymeric byproduct obtained during production of high density polyethylene (HDPE), commonly known as low polymer wax (LPW) or polymer mud, into different products like different grades of paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, lube and grease base stocks by a process comprising of thermal treatment in an inert atmosphere in the presence of organic peroxides or hydroperoxides and metal oxides. The end product depends upon the suitable selection of various process parameters like type of peroxides or hydroperoxides, metal oxides, temperature and duration of reaction.

Provided herein are olefinic feedstocks derived from conjugated hydrocarbon terpenes (e.g., C.sub.10-C.sub.30 terpenes), methods for making the same, and methods for their use.

Disclosed is a low-viscosity oil including more than 50 wt % of 9-methyl-11-octyl-heneicosane as well as a lubricating composition including the base oil and optionally another base oil or an additive. The oil has a kinematic viscosity at 100 C., measured according to standard ASTM D445, ranging from 3 to 4 mm.sup.2/s.sup.1. Also disclosed is such a low-viscosity oil prepared according to a specific method using a metallocene catalyst as well as the use of the oil as a high-performance lubricant for lubrication in the fields of engines, gears, brakes, hydraulic fluids, coolants and greases.

A viscosity index improver containing, in diluent oil, one or more optionally functionalized linear block copolymers having at least one block derived from alkenyl arene covalently linked to at least one block derived from diene in an amount that is greater than the critical overlap concentration (c.sub.h*), in mass %, for the linear block copolymers in the diluent oil; and ester base stock and/or at least one star (or radial) polymer, the star polymer being present in an amount such that the c/c.sub.h* value of the star polymer in the concentrate falls within the range of from 0.01 to about 1.6, wherein c is the concentration in mass % of star polymer in the concentrate and c.sub.h* is the critical overlap concentration in mass % for the star polymer in the diluent oil used to form the concentrate.

The present disclosure relates to a driveline for an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle including an electric motor with an insulated magnet wire and a lubricating and cooling fluid configured to maintain the durability of the magnet wire.

A compressor uses a refrigerant containing R1123 (1,1,2-trifluoroethylene) as a working fluid, and uses a polyvinyl ether oil as a compressor lubricating oil. In addition, a fixed scroll and a revolving scroll each having a spiral lap rising from an end plate, and a compression chamber which is formed by meshing the fixed scroll and the revolving scroll, are provided. In addition, a discharge hole which is provided at a center position of the end plate of the fixed scroll, and is open to a discharge chamber, a bypass hole which is provided in the end plate of the fixed scroll, and communicates with the compression chamber and the discharge chamber at a timing different from a timing at which the compression chamber communicates with the discharge hole, and a check valve which is provided in the bypass hole, and allows a flow from the compression chamber side to the discharge chamber side.

Additive packages including multifunctional additive molecules are disclosed, including, for example, organic medium intercalated with lubricant nanoparticles. The additive package may be greaseless or may be added to materials such as base oils or greases, greaseless materials, or anti-corrosives, for example. The additive package added to materials may form a coating or lubricant that may be added to a surface of an object.

A biodegradable compressor oil comprising a biobased hydrocarbon base oil.
