Va. Begar et al., STUDY OF THE STRUCTURAL-DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS IN MIXTURES OF PETROLEUM AND SYNTHETIC OILS, Petroleum chemistry, 33(3), 1993, pp. 269-276
Spin-probe EPR spectroscopy has shown that the introduction of synthet
ic components of dioctylsebacate (DOS), dioctyladipate (DOA) and dioct
ylphthalate (DOP) increases the phase heterogeneity, as indicated by t
he change in the structural-dynamic properties of the medium. It has b
een established that DOA, DOS and DOP react with the microstructures f
ormed by aromatic hydrocarbons, changing their structure. With a conce
ntration of only 5-10%, dioctyladipate forms fairly stable ''domains''
of pure DOA. Dioctylsebacate and dioctylphthalate change the structur
e of native microformations, increasing their density in the 5% concen
tration region, and they form their own microphase at higher concentra
tions (>60%).
