Influence of polymeric additives on antiscoring and antiwear properties of lithium greases

Influence of soap/polymer concentration ratio on the rheological properties of lithium lubricating greases modified with virgin LDPE

“…The use of polymers as additives is a common practice to change the rheological properties of greases by reinforcing the role of the thickening agent [6,7]. The modification of lubricating greases has been a subject of great interest for the past few decades due to its direct impact on the final material properties [8,9]. In general, polymers are often used as supplements to the traditional thickening agents, in order to either decrease the thickener content by keeping constant the consistency, i.e.…”
