Abstract: A lubricating oil composition that can suppress wear of bearings and the like and scoring of gear teeth surfaces and the like even at low viscosity. A lubricating oil composition that includes a lubricating oil base oil, a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent, and a phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent, wherein the lubricating oil composition is characterized in that: the quantity of active sulfur in the sulfur-based extreme pressure agent is 5-30% by mass; the sulfur-based extreme pressure agent is included in the composition at a quantity of 5-15% by mass relative to the mass of the entire lubricating oil composition; and the phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent is included in the composition at a quantity of 1.5-8% by mass relative to the mass of the entire lubricating oil composition.

Abstract: Provided is a lubricant composition that, even when the viscosity thereof has decreased, can suppress abrasion of bearings, etc. and scoring of gear tooth surfaces, etc. A lubricant composition that contains a lubricant base oil and a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent. The lubricant composition is characterized in that the amount of active sulfur in the extreme pressure agent is 5-30 mass % and in that the extreme pressure agent content of the lubricant composition is 5-15 mass % with respect to the mass of the whole composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrorheological fluid comprising fine silica particles, to which an alcohol-modified silicone oil is bonded, compounded with a nonconducting liquid, to which a polarizing agent is added as necessary. Use of fine silica particles of which the surface is modified by an alcohol-modified silicone oil according to the invention provides an electrorheological fluid which have low initial viscosity, high viscosity increase ratio and excellent dispersion stability.

Abstract: An electroviscous fluid wherein an electrically insulating fluid is mixed with silica fine particles having esterified surfaces, and a polyhydric alcohol. Thus, it is possible to provide an electroviscous fluid which is excellent in dispersion stability and shelf stability, free from aggregation of particles even under heating conditions and capable of manifesting high electroviscous effect.
