There is disclosed an oil-dispersible nanoparticle comprising metal-binding functional groups on its surface. Preferably, the nanoparticle is derived from substantially spherical polymer micelles of (A1-yCy)nBm diblocks or (A1-yCy)nBm(A1-yCy)n, triblocks. A method for producing the nanoparticles is also described. The nanoparticles are particularly useful as lubricant additives. |
