Interfacial rheological properties of adsorbed protein layers and surfactants: a review.

Polymeric materials (and articles made therefrom) including polyurethanes, polyesters, polyolefins, polyamides, polysiloxanes, vinylic and acrylic polymers are rendered biocompatible by including with the polymeric material hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof The hyaluronic acid may be coated onto the surface of the polymeric material, dispersed throughout the body of the polymeric material, or both The hyaluronic acid on the surface of the polymeric material may optionally be cross-linked The biocompatible polymeric materials are used in the making of various prosthetic devices including heart valves, intraocular lenses, vascular grafts, pacemaker leads and the like

Biocompatible polymeric article

Use of a lubricating oil composition comprising at least one Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil for reducing exhaust port blocking of a 2-stroke engine. The present invention also relates to a 2-stroke lubricating engine oil composition comprising (i) at least one Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C in the range of from 2 to 30 mm2/s at 100°C and (ii) 5 wt% or greater of a hydrocarbon solvent; wherein the lubricating engine oil composition has a Blocking Index of greater than 130 as measured by the JASO M343-92 Exhaust System Blocking Test Method.

Lubricating oil compositions comprising fischer-tropsch derived base oils

Automatic transition fluid composition comprising a base oil prepared from a Fischer-Tropsch product. The base oil may have a pour point of below -40 °C and may have a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of between 3 and 6 cSt. The composition may comprises one or more of the following performance additives being an antiwear agent, an antioxidant, an ashless dispersant, a pour point depressant, and antifoam agent, a friction modifier, a corrosion inhibitor and a viscosity modifier.

Automatic transmission fluid composition

Method of reducing the toxicity of a used lubricating composition obtained from a spark ignition internal combustion engine fuelled with a gasoline composition, the method comprising incorporating into the lubricating composition a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil.
