Abstract:The rheological properties of lubricating greases are determined by the viscosity of the base oil, the interaction between base oil and thickener, and the interaction between thickener particles. The contribution of the oil–thickener interactions to the viscosity is well known, but the contribution of the thickener–thickener interactions has not yet been studied by employing theoretical or computational frameworks. In this paper, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics to simulate a fibrous microstructure, an… Show more
