Abstract
A comparative study of additive performance (viscosity modifier [VM], pour point depressant [PPD], and anti wear [AW]) of homo polydecylacrylate (D) and its blend with three different types of liquid crystals (each containing three samples) has been performed. Very low concentrations (100 ppm) of liquid crystals are used in this study and processes include synthesis of D, characterization (FT-IR, NMR) and evaluation. A comparison based on performances has been made among the three different series of liquid crystals (LC) blended homo polydecylacrylate (D). The study indicates the LC blended additives are far better in AW performance compare to only D and their VM and PPD properties are comparable with D and amongst all the three series of liquid crystals, AW performance is better for long alkyl chain length sample. Multifunctional additive performance of this kind of LC blended polyacrylate is reporting for the first time.
