This article considers whether copolymers of decyl methacrylate with styrene can be used as thickening agents for mineral oils in formulating lubricating oils for various applications. The copolymers are blended with a high-paraffin oil (I-12A) to a viscosity of 8 + or - 0.5 mm/sup 2//sec at 100/sup 0/C. It is determined that the styrene fragments have an adverse effect on the low-temperature properties of the compounded oils. The results indicate that increases in the content of styrene fragments in the copolymer above 20% do not have any favorable effects. The viscosity ratio increases to 3.5 when the content of copolymer is increased to 9%.
