Abstract
Copolymer of Decyl acrylate and Styrene: Synthesis, Characterization and Viscometric Studies in Different Base stocks
Pranab Ghosh and Tapan Das Natural
In continuation of our studies towards the development of polymeric additives for lubricating oil we report herein the synthesis, characterization and viscometric studies of homo polymer of decyl acrylate and its copolymer with styrene in different base stocks at 400C. In order to get more information about the structure and morphology of the polymer when dissolved in base stocks (i.e. in field application), viscometric measurements of the synthesized homo polymer as well as that of the co polymer were performed in the base oils at 400C. Different equations were used to calculate intrinsic viscosity and viscometric constants values and molecular weight of the synthesized polymers.
