This study examines the rheological and tribological behavior of bio-based nano-lubricants enhanced with cerium oxide (CeO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), alongside the application of artificial intelligence (AI) models for performance...

The automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward sustainability, driven by stringent environmental regulations, rising energy demands, and the pursuit of enhanced performance and efficiency. Lubricating materials play a pivotal rol...

Water-based lubricants (WBLs) have been at the forefront of recent research, due to the abundant availability of water at a low cost. However, in metallic tribo-systems, WBLs often exhibit poor performance compared to petroleum-based lubricants. Rese...

This study investigates the performance of biobased and nano-additive lubricants for the sustainable machining of Al6082 alloy. The experiments were conducted in five different cutting environments: dry cutting, olive oil-based minimum quantity lubri...

The global transition from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to hybrid (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) is fundamentally reshaping lubricant design requirements, driven by evolving thermal demands, electrical constraints, and material compatibilit...

One of the technical possibilities to enhance the properties of lubricants and biolubricants is dispersing nanoparticles in them. Although conceptually simple, this operation faces challenges related to: (1) obtaining an initial good dispersion of th...

An express method for assessing the effectiveness of lubricating compositions with nano-additives of various chemical compositions is proposed, and a joint analysis of experimental data on the changes in the value of wear and the level of damage to t...

Efficient machinery operation relies on the performance of high-quality lubricants. Currently, mineral oils of different grades are widely employed for lubricating machine components, but their environmental impact is a concern. Biolubricants are pot...

In recent years, with the development of eco-friendly lubricants, different vegetable oils have been studied and found to improve the overall tribological performance compared to petroleum-based oils. Being one of the commonly used vegetable oils, ca...
