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.

The modification and adoption of biolubricants as alternatives in the automotive industry
Environmental Science and Pollution ResearchLubricants are pivotal in mitigating friction and wear between surfaces, ensuring seamless movement of solid objects. However, the predominant use of petroleum-based lubricants in the automotive and industrial ssectors raises substantial concerns for future energy security. The exploration of vegetable oils as an alternative lubricant in the automotive
