Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

Effects of Soap Fiber Structure on Boundary Lubrication of Lithium Soap Greases
This paper describes the influence of fiber length of lithium-soap thickener of greases on friction under boundary lubrication conditions. Ball-on-disk sliding tests were conducted with lithium soap greases with polyol ester as the base oil.

Air stable bimetallic iron one‐component systems capable of CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides under 1 bar of pressure of CO2. In this work, one‐component iron catalysts for the atom‐economical reaction of CO2 with epoxides have been used as efficient catalysts for the carbon dioxide cycloaddition into cyclic carbonates in excellent yields.

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels
When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...

Rheological models for lithium and calcium greases
This paper presents the investigation of the rheological properties and the microscopic structures of two common greases: UM185Li2 - lithium grease and U95Ca2 - calcium greases, with NLGI grade two. The experimental apparatus used were a cone-and-plate rheometer for the rheological properties of the greases and an electronic microscope for the ...

Synthesis of Ethyl Methyl Carbonate: Past, Present, and Future
Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is the simplest asymmetric organic carbonate, with properties between dimethyl (DMC) and diethyl (DEC) carbonate, considered a unique green liquid organic compound for lithium batteries (electrolyte) and gasoline blending (octane enhancer additive), among other uses. In accordance, the chemical production of EMC is expected
