METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPING LUBRICANTS, LUBRICANT ADDITIVES, AND LUBRICANT BASE STOCKS UTILIZING ATOMISTIC MODELING TOOLS

摘要

A method and system for developing lubricant, as well as the lubricant, is provided. According to performance requirements for the lubricant, atomistic modeling tools are used to design a formulation for the lubricant that will substantially meet a set of performance requirements. The formulation comprises lubricant additive(s), lubricant base stock(s), or the combination of lubricant additive(s) and lubricant base stock(s).
