Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

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 …

There are increasing concerns and growing regulations over contamination and
environmental pollution. One of the major concerns is the pollution caused by mineral oils …

Advances in lubricants are vital to the pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainable
development. It is well known that the essence of lubricating oil is lubricant additives …

Cottonseed oil-based biolubricant was synthesized by the TMP-based transesterification
process. 10–50% by volume blends of TMP-based cotton-biolubricant and SAE-40 were …

Trimethylolpropane fatty acid triester (TFATE) is a potential biolubricant that could substitute
mineral-based lubricants in an environmentally responsible way. Double transesterification …

The interactions of different additives in engine oils can create synergistic or antagonistic
effects. This paper studies how mixing different organic friction modifier additives affects …

Abstract Approximately 17.9% of fuel energy is used to overcome engine friction in
passenger cars with engine frictional losses further broken down into losses along …
