First, solid cellulose, a solvent capable of dissolving cellulose, e.g. NMMO and a dispersion of the additive are brought into contact with each other. The additive is allowed to diffuse into the dissolved cellulose, which is possible as a result of the dissolution of the surface layer of the solid cellulose. The solubility of cellulose in the solvent is then reduced, whereby the additive that has diffused into the dissolved cellulose is incorporated into the resulting solid cellulose. A method for applying a fluoropolymer to cellulose as a surface coat is also described.

  • Publication number: 20130225460
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for improving the physico-chemical and usage properties of an existing lubricant, of a solid or liquid consistency, such as gear oils, engine oils and all-purpose oils. The method is based on complementing the composition of the existing lubricant with a mixture of several solid substances (thickeners), in an amount varying from 5 to 35 weight percent of the initial existing lubricant. As a result of their addition, a considerable improvement in a number of the lubricant's properties is achieved. For example, an increase in saturation load, as measured on a 4-ball apparatus of 1600 N to 3150 N; improved friction coefficient ?, the wear scar under 600 N load, and more. Using the method specified in the invention, it is possible to make significant improvements to the quality of a lubricant at relatively low cost.

  • Patent number: 8039424
    Abstract: It is known by the inventor that a universal synthetic lubricant additive that can greatly enhance the performance standards of existing lubricants, petroleum based or synthetic, imparts a new and desirable property not originally present in the existing oil or it reinforces a desirable property already possessed in some degree can greatly benefit the consumer. Although additives of many diverse types have been developed to meet special lubrication needs, their principal functions are relatively few in number.
