Abstract
Describes the structure and rheological characteristics of soap based greases and how the thickener retains the oil phase. Illustrates the thixotropic behaviour and effect of time of shearing on friction, film thickness, noise energy loss in grease lubricated contacts. Shows how friction can be less with grease than with oil.
