Development and Evaluation of Automotive Lubricating Oil from Jatropha curcas Oil
A Jatropha curcas-based bio-lubricant was developed and evaluated for automotive applications through acid esterification, base-catalyzed transesterification, in-situ peracetic acid epoxidation, and multi-additive blending.

Four stereogenic centers are formed diastereoselectively in one step from a cyclic (E,E)‐1,5‐diene system using an electrophilic addition reaction. Subsequent ozonolytic cleavage of the intact Z‐double bond, followed by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution, yields an octahydroterfurandione with a threo,cis,threo configuration, an arrangement found ...

Epoxidation of CNSL Mixture, Cardanol, and Cardol: A Sustainable Solution for PVC Plasticization
This study has its focus on the epoxidation of technical cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), used as a PVC plasticizer. Epoxidation significantly enhanced plasticizing properties (increased elongation at break, decreased Young's modulus), along with improved thermal stability and chemical resistance.
