Energy and material conservation is an important global issue. In conventional practice,
lubricants were selected based on cost, performance, and life, and concern was not given to …

Biolubricants are emerging as an alternate option to petroleum-based lubricants and
seeking the attention of researchers worldwide due to their biodegradability, renewability …

In recent years, there has been growing concern regarding the use of petroleum-based
lubricants. This concern has generated interest in readily biodegradable fluids such as …

Several edible and non-edible oil sources are currently being developed as renewable
basestocks for biolubricant production. However, these feedstocks possess undesirable …

This paper presents a novel grease from jojoba oil and activated carbon nanoparticles
(ACNPs) extracted from banana peel waste. The raw jojoba oil and ACNPs are first …

All the moving components in an internal combustion engine require a lubricant that allows
smooth sliding and/or rolling of interacting surfaces. Lubricant not only minimizes the friction …

The use of lubricants to lower friction and wear in mechanical systems has been established
for centuries. Growing concerns about the hazardous effects of conventional mineral …

Lubricating approaches involving nanoparticles have a significant role in reducing friction
and wear. Reducing friction is crucial for preserving energy, minimizing emissions, and …

The environmental problems caused by using fossil fuels to sustain the present level of
industrialization have kindled worldwide interest in developing sustainable lubrication …

This paper describes an investigation of the effects of silicone-containing additives on the
tribological and rheological properties of various lubricant blends. Aerosil® and layered …
