  2. Buckminsterfullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene

    A C 62 derivative [C 62 (C 6 H 4-4-Me) 2] synthesized from C 60 and 3,6-bis(4-methylphenyl)-3,6-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine. The C 60 molecules can also be coupled through a [2+2] cycloaddition, giving the dumbbell-shaped compound C 120. The coupling is achieved by high-speed vibrating milling of C 60 with a catalytic amount of KCN.

  3. Molybdenum disulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum_disulfide

    A tube of commercial graphite powder lubricant with molybdenum disulfide additive (called "molybdenum") [33] Due to weak van der Waals interactions between the sheets of sulfide atoms, MoS 2 has a low coefficient of friction. MoS 2 in particle sizes in the range of 1–100 μm is a common dry lubricant. [34]

  4. Paraffin wax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraffin_wax

    The branched properties result in a modified paraffin with a higher viscosity, smaller crystalline structure, and modified functional properties. Pure paraffin wax is rarely used for carving original models for casting metal and other materials in the lost wax process , as it is relatively brittle at room temperature and presents the risks of ...

  5. Fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene

    The closed fullerenes, especially C 60, are also informally called buckyballs for their resemblance to the standard ball of association football ("soccer"). Nested closed fullerenes have been named bucky onions. Cylindrical fullerenes are also called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes. [1] The bulk solid form of pure or mixed fullerenes is called ...

  6. Kerosene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene

    It is composed of hydrocarbon molecules that typically contain between 6-20 carbon atoms per molecule, [12] predominantly containing 9 to 16 carbon atoms. [ 13 ] Regardless of crude oil source or processing history, kerosene's major components are branched- and straight-chain alkanes (hydrocarbon chains) and naphthenes (cycloalkanes), which ...

  7. Mineral oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_oil

    The dielectric constant of mineral oil ranges from 2.3 at 50 °C (122 °F) to 2.1 at 200 °C (392 °F). [22] Electric space heaters sometimes use mineral oil as a heat transfer oil. Lubricants used for older refrigerator and air conditioning compressors are based on mineral oil, especially those using R-22 refrigerant.
