1. A method comprising:
providing a first alkylated naphthalene composition comprising at least one monoalkylated naphthalene and at least one dialkylated naphthalene;
obtaining a first fraction enriched in the at least one monoalkylated naphthalene of the first alkylated naphthalene and a second fraction enriched in the at least one dialkylated naphthalene of the first alkylated naphthalene; and
combining a portion of the first fraction with a portion of the second fraction to obtain a modified alkylated naphthalene composition differing in composition from the first alkylated naphthalene composition and having one or more lubricant properties differing from the first alkylated naphthalene composition.
