Carbon dioxide and VOC sorbents that include a porous support impregnated with an amine compound are provided. The sorbents include a gas-adsorbing material coated onto the porous support. The gas-adsorbing material includes a polyamine which is produced using a process that is free of formaldehyde as a reaction product and/or a reactant.

Carbon dioxide sorbents for air quality control

A lubricant composition for improving fuel economy of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine includes a base oil and a friction-reducing compound. The friction reducing compound has the following general formula: wherein R is an alkyl or alkenyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms, each Ris an independently selected hydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and n is 1.

Friction-reducing compound, method of producing same, and lubricant composition

Alkylamine, alkylenedi-, alkylenetri- or alkylenetetra-amine derivatives of N-alkyl-halo-acetamides, are useful as ashless, phosphorus-free and sulfur-free antiwear and friction modifying additives for lubricating oils. The additives are of the formula (I), (II) or (III) where A is alkylene of from 2 to 6 carbon atoms or is a group  G, each independently, is alkylene of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R, each independently, is alkyl or alkenyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms and R', each independently, is hydrogen or alkyl or alkenyl or 1 to 24 carbon atoms, where if an amide nitrogen is monosubstituted by alkyl or alkenyl, said alkyl or alkenyl is from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, where if an amide nitrogen is disubstituted by alkyl or alkenyl, the total carbon atoms of said alkyls or alkenyls combined are from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and where each amide nitrogen is either mono- or disubstituted by alkyl or alkenyl.

Disclosed are borate and boronate compounds of the formulae where R, Rand Rare independently hydrogen, straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, straight or branched chain alkenyl of 2 to 24 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, aralkyl of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, alkaryl of 7 to 15 carbon atoms; Ar is substituted or unsubstituted aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms; and Rand Rare independently defined as for Rand may also be hydroxyphenyl or alkylated hydroxyphenyl, or Rand Rtogether with the &#x2014;OBO&#x2014; group form a substituted or unsubstituted 5 or 6 membered ring. The borate and boronate compounds are effective as antiwear, extreme pressure, and friction modifying additives for lubricating oils and fuels.

Borate ester lubricant additives

Methods and compositions are disclosed for enhancing magnetic resonance imaging which utilize hydrophilic free radical compounds as magnetic resonance contrast media. Typical magnetic resonance contrast media within the scope of the present invention include stable hydrophilic free radicals having a hydrophilic moiety, such as polyhydroxyalkyl groups and heterocyclic amino-alcohols such as dihydroxypyrrolidine, dihydroxypiperidine, and trihydroxypiperidine, and a stable free radical moiety, such as a nitroxide, phenoxy, or phenoxazinyl free radical moiety.

Hydrophilic free radicals for magnetic resonance imaging

.gamma.-Thiobutyrolactone derivatives having short chain .alpha.- and/or .gamma.-alkyl or alkenyl substituents have useful anticonvulsant properties.
