Energy storage devices are improved by incorporating polyurethane separators, which separators comprise polyurethane polymers prepared by curing a polycarbonate based polyurethane prepolymer, which polyurethane polymers often further comprise metal or ammonium salts and are often swelled by an organic solvent.

Energy storage device comprising a polyurethane separator

A non-aqueous flow cell energy storage device comprises a ionically conductive separator, which separator comprises a polyurethane prepared by curing an isocyanate capped prepolymer, which prepolymer was prepared from a polyol having polycarbonate backbone, wherein the separator may be impregnated with electrolyte salts and/or swelled by an organic solvent.

Combining a metal based friction modifier, such as a molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate, and certain esters of hydroxy carboxylic acids, such as short chain alkyl esters of citric or tartaric acid, e.g., tributyl citrate, has a synergistic effect on lowering the friction coefficient of lubricating oils allowing one to reduce the amount of metal based friction modifier needed to adequately formulate a lubricant with low friction characteristics.

Friction modifier composition for lubricants

A friction modifier composition for reducing friction in a lubricant comprising a fatty acid sorbitan ester that is solid or semi-solid. The fatty acid sorbitan ester is capable of being released into a lubricant at a rate of less than or equal to 0.15 grams per minute.

Fatty sorbitan ester based friction modifiers

A process for ring-alkylating aniline or an aniline derivative in which aniline or an aniline derivative is reacted with an alkylating agent in the presence of an ionic liquid which includes a Lewis acid and a quaternary cation, to produce a ring-alkylated alkylaniline or a ring-alkylated aniline derivative. The use of an ionic liquid permits convenient separation of the alkylated reaction product from the reactants.
