OSTI ID:4050653

The increase of the wiscosity of lubricating oils under high-energy irradiation is largely prevented by adding a small quantity of a soluble polymeric hydrocarbon which contains benzene nuclei. A preferred composition consists of a common lubricating oil with a kinematic viscosity of 32 to 600 centistokes at 37.8 deg C to which 0.5 to 1% by weight of a nonylpolystyrene (mole wt. about 75,000) is added.
