KEY FEATURES: Assists scientists, engineers and researchers in the development of a new
high performance lubricant· An essential review of the state of knowledge in tribochemistry …

The synthesis and study of oil-soluble metal carbonate colloids is a continuing area of
interest within the field of lubricant additives. The acid neutralisation properties of these …

This article reviews the structural analysis of polymeric latexes by small-angle X-ray
scattering (SAXS). It is demonstrated that SAXS is a tool which allows us to study the internal …

A new model for the shell structure of surfactants in droplet microemulsions is described
inwhich the scattering length density distribution of the interface is treated as a Gaussian …

The preparation and application of overbased nanodetergents with excess alkaline calcium
carbonate is a good example of nanotechnology in practice. The phase transformation of …

Small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) is a tool which allows the study of the structure and the
interaction of polymer latexes with great accuracy. The low electron density of the polymers …

It has been reported in the literature that overbased detergents can possess good antifriction
and antiwear properties although the origins of these properties are not fully clear. In …

Contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS) is an excellent way to
determine the structure of complex, hierarchical colloids, including self-assembled biological …

A study of a core‐shell latex consisting of a polystyrene core and a polymethylmethacrylate
(PMMA) shell by small‐angle x‐ray scattering is presented. Since the electron density, ie …

An investigation of the adsorption of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-405 on a polystyrene
latex by use of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is given. Since the latex particles only …
