Polymeric oil additives for future technologies

发动机排放目标是未来发动机润滑油设计的关键因素，并且越来越需要开发新的添加剂技术。通过降低本体流体的摩擦贡献、通过降低油的粘度、或通过经由包括摩擦改进剂来改善接触部件的摩擦，可以促进改善的燃料经济性。因此，该博士项目将专注于开发可直接用作石油添加剂的新型大分子结构。该项目由EPSRC和Infineum UK Ltd共同资助

Engine emission targets are a crucial factor for the future design of engine oils and are increasingly driving the need to develop new additive technology. Improved fuel economy can be facilitated by reducing the friction contribution either of the bulk fluid, by lowering the viscosity of the oil, or by improving the friction of the contacting parts via the inclusion of friction modifiers. Therefore, this PhD project will focus on the development of novel macromolecular structures that can be directly applied as an oil additive. The project is co-funded by EPSRC and Infineum UK Ltd
