Conclusions
-
1.
It is shown that polyisobutylene of molecular weight 8000 or more is unsuitable for obtaining thickened transmission oils; the polymer should have a molecular weight of 3000–5000 for this purpose.
-
2.
It has been established that, with the exception of the viscosity, during operation in an automobile gear box the physicochemical properties of the thickened oil remain practically unchanged.
-
3.
It is shown that very similar results are obtained for mechanical destruction of polyisobutylene in the gear box of a Volga automobile, on a gear stand, and in a UZDN-1 ultrasonic installation.
