Abstract
One of the main characteristics of lubricants is the viscosity index, which shows the dependence of oil viscosity on temperature. The higher the viscosity index, the better the lubricating properties of the oil. Esters of various polyols, in particular pentaerythritol, are very effective in this direction. This work examines a wide range of high-purity pentaerythritol esters of 14 compounds of varying degrees of branching and studies the temperature dependences of kinematic viscosity in the temperature range from melting temperatures to 150 °C. Based on the obtained data, the values of viscosity indexes were calculated, and the contribution of the carboxylic acid structure to the viscosity properties was also considered.
