I would especially like to thank Kelli Swatsworth, who helped with all the correspondence and typing. I would also like to thank my wife, Paula, and my family for their understanding and support while I worked on this book. Ronald L.

Synthetic fluids, designeo pdt rovide performance characteristics above and beyond those available from fluids derived from most natural sources, are the subject of this book. The intention of this book is to provide a one-volume overview of the various types and uses of synthetic functional fluids currently available. The first section of the book is devoted to the different fluids. Each chapter is focused on a particular class of compounds and is author- ized by a recognized expert in the field. The fluids covered include all the well-established commercial products as well as some experimental fluids that have the potential of becoming commercialized in the near future. To the extent possible, each chapter includes a discussion of: Historical Development Chemistry Property and Performance Characteristics Manufacture, Marketing, and Economics Outlook The second section of the book deals with applications.
