abstract = {The scope of this study is to elucidate the physical mechanisms influencing the
transient flow behavior of lubricating greases based on biogenic oleochemicals from a
polarity point of view. This includes the mutually interacting influence of base oil polarity
and thickening agents on the rheologically-measured mechanical structural degradation in
transient shear flow. Due to the high temperature dependence of Keesom forces in the
background of polar-active bond mechanisms, the analysis of the transient flow response as
a function of temperature allows to attribute the observed influences to differences in base
oil polarity. In general, clay-thickened greases show a greater tendency to be rheologically
influenced by base oil polarities than soap-thickened lubricating greases.},
