  • Graphite dispersion
    Patent number: 4434064
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for stabilizing a graphite in-oil-dispersion by means of a fracture induced oxidation of graphite particles to produce a composition suitable as a constituent of a lubricating oil composition.The oxygen content of the graphite particles is at least about 1% by weight of the total weight of the ground graphite particle including oxygen.
    Type: Grant
