Résumé en anglais

This paper aims to design bio-based polyester as a viscosity modifier for lubricant properties. Bio-based polyricinoleate (PRic) and its saturated homologous polyhydroxystearate (PHS) have been synthesized from fatty acid methyl esters. The polycondensation performed in bulk in a one-step reaction without any purification leads to two series of polyesters within a large range of molecular weights, with Mw between 3 and 130 kg·mol–1. Their thermal properties were investigated. Good thermal stability was observed with degradation temperatures above 300 °C. As expected, PRic appeared to be amorphous with a particularly low glass-transition temperature, while PHS is semicrystalline. A rheological study determined that polyricinoleate entangled when its molecular weight was above 25 kg·mol–1. These two bio-based and biodegradable polymers were then evaluated as viscosity modifiers in both organic and mineral oils. PHS with high molecular weights appeared to be an excellent thickener as well as a good viscosity index improver with a viscosity index (VI) increase above +50 in organic lubricant oil and +64 in mineral oil.< Réduire
