Since the discovery of fatty acids, a niche has been carved for their vital role as adjuvants in
drug delivery and as treatment for various diseases. The literature has repeatedly described …

In this study hydraulic oil-based ferrofluid was synthesized and the impacts of different
parameters including temperature, particle concentration and magnetic field were studied on …

The development of eco-friendly lubricant is the requirement of the times. In this paper, the
modified IF-WS 2 nanoparticles are added to castor oil as additives to prepare mixed …

In automotive fluids, hydraulic, gear, and bearing oils, as well as in applications operating in
extremely high or cold temperatures, PAO is widely employed. In present work, we have …

This first regional issue published in STMP highlights the potential and importance of the
research carried out in Latin America regarding surface engineering and tribology. In order …

In order to improve the flowabilities and anti-friction and anti-wear properties of lubricants,
the viscosity variations and tribological performances of oleylamine-modified Fe3O4 …

We investigate the transition between different regimes of lubrication and directly observe
the thickness of nanometric lubrication films with a sensitivity of a single molecular layer at a …

We herein report the development of carbon-modified porous fillers that function as micro-
reservoirs to store lubricating oil as a low-friction and anticorrosive agent in a composite …

A functional biopolymer was synthesized by introducing stearic acid (SA) to the backbone of
xylan (X) obtained from viscose fiber mills. The SA–X derivatives were characterized by …

Abstract Magnetite nanoparticles (17.07±1.89 nm) were synthesized from mining sludge
(Mag-NPR) by co-precipitation with ammonium hydroxide. Mag-NPR was used in bentonite …
