nowdays, production of high quality engine oils is one of the worries of our country’s engine oil industry. in this study, the behavior of four commercial polymers used in nation motor oil industry in obtaining the best viscosity index improver was investigated. in this regard, viscometric behavior, shear stability and polymers’ performance for engine cranking were compared at low temperature. ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the rheological behavior and mucoadhesive nature of saliva substitutes, by incorporating various mucoadhesive polymers into an artificial saliva pump spray formulation. for this purpose various mucoadhesive polymers including cellulosic polymers in the range of 0.1-1.0% and carbomers such as c974p, c971, c934p and c971 in the range of 0.01-0.1% were adde...

The use of water soluble polymers for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) provides an additional chance to extract between 5 to 30% of total oil in place from drilled and mature reservoirs [1]. A big number of patents, mainly from multinational companies, remark the importance of polymers for EOR [2]. The role of the polymer in the aqueous solution is to increase the viscosity of the displacement solut...

In this work, 5,6,7,8-Tetrabromo-2,3-dihydro-2,3-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)phthalazine-1,4-dione is synthesized by the reaction of 5,6,7,8-tetrabromo-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione with 2-bromoethanol in the presence of triethylamine. The obtained monomer was polymerized with different diisocyanates, including hexamethylenediisocyanate (HMDI), tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), isophoronediisocyanate ...

Polymers for hot melt extrusion must exhibit thermoplastic characteristics in order to permit the melt extrusion process and they must be stable at extrusion temperatures. Other relevant characteristics are: suitable glass transition temperature (Tg) of 50–180 °C, low hygroscopicity and no toxicity since larger amounts of polymer are used [1]. Extrudability of a polymer is mainly determined by ...
