The low-temperature flow properties of waxy crude oils are considered the determining
factor in the pipeline transportation. Such properties are highly affected by the content …

Four comb-like copolymers derived from styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer were
prepared and characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The molecular …

A new-style pour point depressant (PPD) for crude oil was prepared by mixing the aminated
copolymer and the composite commercial ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) in fixed …

The use of ozonized vegetable oils as pour point depressant for neat biodiesel was
evaluated. Ozonized vegetable oils (1–1.5% by weight) were effective in reducing the pour …

Five flow improvers have been synthesized to study rheological properties of Nada crude oil
(Gujarat, India). Anhydride copolymers were prepared making use of the copolymerization of …

Comb-type poly (maleic alkylamide-co-α-octadecene) copolymers (MACs) with various
ratios of polar carboxyl group/nonpolar octadecyl group were synthesized. Upon cooling …

Abstract Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) undoubtedly represents the structurally most complex
petroleum fraction. Composed from a wide range of refinery resdiua after yielding the more …

The combined-pour point depressants (PPDs) have shown potential for the improvement of
the cold flow properties of diesel. In this study, free radical polymerization was used to …

New crystal modifier surfactants were developed by esterification of hexa-triethanolamine
with oleic acid to prepare mono, di, and tri-esters. The synthesized esters were confirmed by …

The article investigates the performance of polymers prepared from castor oil and dodecyl
acrylate as biodegradable multifunctional additive in the formulation of eco-friendly lubricant …
