Synthesis of Poly(glycerol-succinic acid)-dithiocarbamate and Poly(glycerol-succinic acid)-1,3,4-thiadiazole Dendrimers and Their Use as Anti-Wear Oil Additives

Synthesis of Poly(glycerol-succinic acid)-dithiocarbamate and Poly(glycerol-succinic acid)-1,3,4-thiadiazole Dendrimers and Their Use as Anti-Wear Oil Additives

A series of poly(glycerol-succinic acid) dithiocarbamate and 1,3,4-thiadiazole dendrimers, which have potential as anti-wear oil additives, were synthesized. Their anti-wear properties in three different oils (100N, DB-51, and soybean) were evaluated using a four-ball wear tester. The results indicated that thiocarbamate dendrimers have moderate anti-wear properties in DB-51 oil, and 1,3,4-thiadiazole dendrimers exhibited good anti-wear properties in 100N and DB-51 oils. However, dithiocarbamate and 1,3,4-thiadiazole dendrimers were not effective anti-wear additives in soybean oil.
