"Chemistry and Technology of Lubricants" describes the chemistry and technology of base oils, additives and applications of liquid lubricants. This Third Edition reflects how the chemistry and technology of lubricants has developed since the First Edition was published in 1992. The acceleration of performance development in the past 35 years has been as significant as in the previous century: Refinery processes have become more precise in defining the physical and chemical properties of higher quality mineral base oils. New and existing additives have improved performance through enhanced understanding of their action. Specification and testing of lubricants has become more focused and rigorous. "Chemistry and Technology of Lubricants" is directed principally at those working in the lubricants industry as well as individuals working within academia seeking a chemist's viewpoint of lubrication. It is also of value to engineers and technologists requiring a more fundamental understanding of the subject. An updated and revised version of the second edition of this "bible" for the Lubricant Industry New material includes chapters featuring base fluids andadditives, applications of lubricants, environment, used oil analysis/condition monitoring, and performance testing INDICE: Introduction.- Mineral base oils.- Synthetic base oils.- Detergents and dispersants.- Anti-oxidants.- Viscosity modifiers.- Anti-wear and friction,modifiers.- Miscellaneous.- Automotive lubricants.- Driveline lubricants (New chapter).- Industrial lubricants.- Aviation lubricants.- Aerospace lubricants (New chapter).- Marine lubricants.- Grease.- Environmental impact.- Oil analysis/monitoring (New chapter).- Performance testing (New chapter).
