Lubrication performance of biolubricants
2022Lubrication has been used to reduce the friction and wear of the mechanical components. Friction and wear are the reason behind most of the energy and material wastage in the industry. Petroleum-based oil is primarily used as the base lubricant, which is inherently toxic and has detrimental effects on the environment.

Molecularly Engineered Biolubricants for Articular Cartilage
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2018AbstractLubrication within articular joints plays a crucial role in daily life, providing an extremely low coefficient of friction and preventing wear at the surface of the articular cartilage. Natural biomacromolecules responsible for lubrication are part of the synovial fluid and their degradation is associated with the onset of degenerative diseases,

Synthesis of charged chitosan nanoparticles as functional biolubricant
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2021Osteoarthritis has been a major disease in recent years, which is mainly related to the breakdown of the lubrication function of the cartilage sliding interface, along with the inflammation of the joint capsule. In this paper, one kind of novel biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs) lubricant, named CS-PS, is synthesized through chemically grafting hydrophilic

Construction of a tribometer for tests with biolubricants
2012 10th IEEE/IAS International Conference on Industry Applications, 2012The tribometer is a device used in the tribology, the science that studies the lubrication in general. The mechanical system of tribometer comprises basically in a relative motion between two surfaces, which are evaluated in terms of the measurement of the frictional force between them.

Interfacial Water an Exceptional Biolubricant
Crystal Growth & Design, 2009Interfacial water layers attract more and more attention in both material sciences and life sciences because of two characteristics that depend on the polarity of the surfaces involved: crystalline order and surface stability. Their interplay allows us to understand friction at the nanoscale under realistic conditions, including but not limited to the ...

Superior Biolubricant from a Species of Red Microalga
Langmuir, 2006The rheological properties of the sulfated polysaccharide of the red microalga Porphyridium sp., a heteropolymer with a molecular weight of 3-5 x 10(6) Da, indicated that this material might be an excellent candidate for lubrication applications: the viscosity of the polysaccharide is stable over a range of temperatures, pH values, and salinities.

Diesel biolubricants - synthesis and characterisation
2023Over the past decade, regulations have been changed to reduce the environmental impact of diesel fuel reducing the content of sulphur and aromatics. This has resulted in a deterioration of low-temperature properties and lubricity. Also more attention has been given to renewability of the products to lessen the impact on the environment.

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science
Mucin and lubricin, are both bottlebrush-like glycoproteins in biofluids, play pivotal roles in friction reduction at biological tissue-tissue and tissue-implant contact interfaces. Such two glycoproteins give rise to the intrinsic friction reducing ability that vast research interests have been attracted.
