Recent advances in lubrication technology have provided a wealth of information concerning the underlying chemistry of lubricants. This book summarizes the available knowledge and puts it in the context of the lubricants industry. The authors cover all the principal applications of lubricants, such as automotive, aviation and marine lubricants and greases, as well as looking in detail at types of base fluid and classes of additives. There are individual chapters on base fluids derived from mineral oil, synthetic base oils, and on components such as the polymers, anti-oxidants and anti-wear agents that make-up modern lubricant formulations. The methods of manufacture, properties, modes of action and important environmental issues are discussed. This book should be of interest to engineers and technologists, chemists in the lubricants and associated industry, and chemists in academic research.
