Abstract: A lubricant mixture suitable for a manual transmission fluid comprising:(a) a boronated overbased alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt selected from the group consisting of sulfonates, phenates, oxylates, carboxylates and mixtures thereof;(b) a friction modifier selected from the group consisting of fatty phosphites, fatty acid amides, borated fatty epoxides, fatty amines, glycerol esters and their borated derivatives, borated alkoxylated fatty amines, sulfurized olefins and mixtures thereof;(c) and an oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein such lubricants have excellent static and dynamic frictional characteristics. The lubricant fluids are particularly useful in reducing double detent and clashing during manual transmission shifting.

Abstract: Lubricating oils containing at least one amino phenol of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R is a substantially saturated, hydrocarbon-based group of at least about 10 aliphatic carbon atoms, a, b and c are, for example, each 1, 2 or 3, and Ar is an aromatic moiety such as a benzene nucleus, naphthalene nucleus or linked benzene nuclei, are effective in lubricating two-cycle internal combustion engines. Typically such amino phenols for this use are formed by nitration and reduction of alkyl phenols having an alkyl or alkenyl group of at least about 50 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Invert emulsion polymers are prepared by continuously circulating a system comprising a non-polar liquid and an aqueous solution of polymerizable monomers, continuously adding components to said system and continuously withdrawing a portion of said system comprising the desired invert emulsion polymer. The method is conveniently effected in a loop reactor. It is particularly effective for the production of invert emulsion polymers of acrylamidoalkanesulfonic acids and their salts; e.g., 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid.
