Sxynthesis and properties of adamantane synthetic lubricants

Abstract

Adamantane hydrocarbons and esters have already been described in the literature. This paper examines the properties of two types of adamantane oils, tri- and tetrabutyladamantanes, and esters prepared from adamantyl methanols and aliphatic acids, and alkyladamantane carboxylic acids and aliphatic alcohols. The preparation, properties and in particular the electrical properties are presented.
