Metal Soap Greases - Progress in Organic and Physical Chemistry: Structures and Mechanisms - page 74

This study is focused primarily on stearate based metal soaps. Optimal selection of
grease constituents from different points of view in this work may trigger the insight
of readers for their future work.

KEYWORDS
