Introduction
This research aims to contribute to sustainable lubrication solutions by exploring the synthesis methods and properties of biodegradable lubricants that are both non-toxic and derived from sustainable resources. The study likely involves investigating the sources, chemical processes, and performance characteristics of these lubricants, with potential applications in reducing environmental impact in various industries.

The necessity to find an alternate fuel has arisen due to the rapid spike in cost of crude oil. In terms of economics, the alternative fuel should be more appealing than fossil fuels. Vegetable oils are used to make costly yet environmentally beneficial biodiesels. Utilizing leftover cooking oil to produce biodiesel is less expensive than using vir...
Among the large variety of organic compounds, heterocycles are interesting compounds widely occurring in nature, showing biological activities. Dihydropyridine (DHP) is a privileged scaffold having nitrogen in a six-membered cyclic ring as a central moiety. DHP is a significant compound studied in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology activities. Th...
In this study, renewable, non-toxic, sulphur free bio-lubricants are synthesized as alternative for fossil fuels. Weutilized a bio-derived 10-undecylenic acid (UDA) and pentaerythritol (PE) as raw materials to synthesize bio-lubricants by two-step chemical processes like esterification and followed by epoxidation reactions. And ach-ieved a UDA-PE e...
Mineral-based lubricants are being supplanted by bio-based lubricants because of environmental concerns and the depletion of fossil resources. The derivatives of edible and non-edible oils are considered potential alternatives to existing natural mineral oil base stocks in certain lubricant applications, where immediate intraction with the environm...
In this work, two different neopentyl glycol (NPG) esters have been synthesized from NPG with 10- undecylenic acid (UDA) and calophyllum fatty acid (CFA) by the esterification process by using para toluene sulfonic acid as a catalyst. The esterification reaction progress has been determined by collecting measured water by using the Dean Stack appar...
The increased price and utility of fossil fuels require an alternate source of energy, as fossil fuels are non-degradable causing environmental pollution. So biodegradable lubricants were developed as an alternative to the existing one. Bio-lubricants prepared from vegetable oils are expensive and eco-friendly. The production lubricants from waste...
This current study investigates the effect of blending bio-lubricant with commercial lubricant on physico-chemical and tribological properties. The synthesis of TMP and PE ester are optimized to obtain 100 % long chain tetra-esters and extreme care was taken during preparation of bio-lubricant to lessen deterioration of physio-chemical properties b...
