Aminophenol functionalized polyisobutylene macromonomers: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Standard lubricant viscosity degrades under thermal shear, leading to engine wear and efficiency loss. These polymers utilize specific comb-branch architectures to stabilize the viscosity index across wide temperature ranges.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Aminophenol functionalized polyisobutylene macromonomers?

Internal combustion engine deposits

(13)evidences

Accumulation of carbonaceous residues and asphaltene precipitates leads to fuel system clogging and reduced combustion efficiency. Mitigating these deposits prevents power loss and hardware degradation.

Excessive coolant electrical conductivity

(12)evidences

High electrical conductivity in thermal management fluids causes parasitic power loss and short-circuiting in sensitive electronics. Reducing conductivity prevents catastrophic component failure and improves system safety.

Excessive mechanical component wear

(9)evidences

Insufficient surface adhesion and film strength in high-load environments. Improving interfacial stability prevents metal-to-metal contact and premature component wear.
