Research Abstract |
The proposed friction reducing mechanism of high molecular weight additives that might be brought by the high adsorption capability or low desorption tendency of molecules was confirmed experimentally. It was also found from the temperature programmed experiments that although the low molecular weight compounds having long straight alkyl chain exhibited better lubrication performance under moderate temperature, the high molecular weight compounds showed excellent lubrication performance under higher temperature. It was confirmed from the various experiments using polar base oils that the improvement of lubrication performance of high molecular weight additives is related to the swelling of long molecular chain.
