Assessment the rheological behavior of polybutene polymers as viscosity modifiers in lubricating oils

Lubricants can lose viscosity when exposed to high temperatures, leading to engine damage. Viscosity modifiers can be added to address this issue. When applying these additives to lubricating oils, it becomes vital to assess the rheological behavior. As the microstructure of these additives play a golden role in their functionality in lubricating oils, it’s fruitful to investigate the relationship between microstructure and rheological behavior of viscosity modifiers.
