This paper reports the degree of stability of the viscosity of Chitosan/gelatin mixtures having viscosity from 1 mm2/s to 161 mm2/s. The kinematic viscosity of the five liquids, was determined at 20 °C and 25 °C. To test the stability of the viscosity
of these oils, we have repeated the measurements of the kinematic and dynamic viscosity at 20 °C and 25 °C, several times
for a period of two years. The measurements were carried out using standard viscometers and water bath, where temperature
stability was about ± 0.02 °C. The variations of the viscosity for the oils under test during two years interval were within
the ranges of uncertainty of measurements. The results obtained show that these oils can be used for a period of two years
with stable physical and chemical composition and in turn their measured viscosity values. These recommended viscosity standards
will be of great importance for many applications e.g., thickeners, food, textile, sizings, petrol and medical industries
because they verify a wide calibration ranges of viscosity values for different industries. 相似文献
Chemistry against friction and wear: Examining surface reactions of lubricant additives Although greases and oils are able to reduce friction without other substances being added, blending with additives is essential for todays high‐performance lubricants. Only these synthetic additives yield the desired characteristics of the final product, which is often designed specially for a particular application. In most cases, however, the underlying chemical mechanism is not exactly understood. For anti‐wear additives it will be shown how modern surface chemistry can help to understand the effectiveness of those substances and thus contribute to a systematic additive optimization. 相似文献
Advances in lubricants are vital to the pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainable development. It is well known that the essence of lubricating oil is lubricant additives, especially the friction-reducing and anti-wear additives. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), a novel zero-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterial, have attained growing expectations in material and chemical sciences because of their extraordinary properties such as low toxicity and environmentally friendly, high chemical and thermal stability, and good designability. Since their discovery, CQDs have shown great potential in many applications including sensors, medicine, photovoltaic devices, biology, and tribology. The latest application of CQDs as the high-performance friction-reducing and anti-wear additives has garnered increasing attention. With the in-depth study, CQDs have gradually exhibited their excellent tribological properties, especially acted as additives in lubricating base oils. This paper has reviewed the progress in the research and development of CQDs-based lubricant additives by introducing lots of successful applications of CQDs-based additives in the present work and then highlighted the friction-reducing and anti-wear property, superiority, as well as the lubrication mechanism of CQDs as an additive, along with some discussion on challenges and perspectives in this significant and promising field. Finally, we offered a series of suggestions for developing the next-generation high-performance CQDs-based lubricant additives.

This work presented the carbon quantum dots as the lubricant additives of lubricating base oils.
Warm mix asphalt additives are effective in decreasing production, laying and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixes. However, there are still questions concerning influence of warm mix additives on properties of asphalt mixes and pavement performance. This paper presents results of the comprehensive research of viscoelastic behaviour of asphalt mixes and pavement structures with layers made with warm mix asphalt additives at high temperatures. Two additives of significantly different effects on mixes at higher temperatures were selected for analysis, namely aliphatic synthetic wax produced with the use of Fisher–Tropsch method and formulation of surfactant- based molecules (ionic and non-ionic). Viscoelastic properties of mixes with these two additives and, as a reference mix, with neat unmodified asphalt binder were determined in uniaxial compression with sinusoidal loading using Asphalt Mixture Performance Test. The viscoelastic analysis of pavement structures was performed with use of the VEROAD software and data from laboratory testing. Two different pavement structures were analysed, for light and heavy traffic. The temperature distribution in pavement structure during the hottest summer day in northern Poland in 2012 was taken into account. The model of pavement was loaded with moving wheel at different speeds. The analysis has shown that two tested warm mix additives had different effect on viscoelastic transient response at high temperatures. One of them (Fischer–Tropsch wax) evidently caused an increase in resistance of asphalt mix and pavement structure to loading at high temperature. The second additive (formulation of surfactant-based molecules) slightly reduced resistance of asphalt mix and pavement to loading at high temperatures as compared with the reference mix. 相似文献
In contrast to pure ammonia, some additives into it may provide better solubility of the mineral oils, higher refrigeration capacity and lower discharge temperature of the compressor. In this paper, the vapor liquid phase equilibrium for the ammonia + 1,1-difluoroethane system at temperatures ranging from 253.150 K to 293.150 K were studied. The Peng–Robinson equation of state with the Huron–Vidal mixing rule involving the non-random two-liquid activity coefficient model was employed to describe the VLE behavior of the system concerned. The maximum average absolute relative deviation of pressure and average absolute deviation of vapor phase are 0.31% and 0.009, respectively. A positive azeotropic behavior was exhibited at the experimental temperature range. 相似文献
Over the last few years, interest in applications of nanoparticles as lubricant additives has steadily grown due to the demonstrated reduction in friction and wear of nanoparticle-containing lubricant formulations (so-called nanolubricants). Particularly, studies of motor oils containing a “green” all-carbon additive, detonation nanodiamond (DND) particles, revealed their positive impact on the performance of lubricant compositions and fuel economy in engine tests. In the current review we discuss critical issues toward successful implementation of DND in nanolubricants: role of DND structural characteristics, stability of colloids of DND in oils, DND compatibility and synergism with other additives in commercial oils, mechanisms of DND impact on the properties of lubricants. Owing to the abrasive nature of diamond, DND-based nanolubricants must be carefully engineered in order to avoid increased wear of the friction surfaces and get full benefit from significantly reduced friction of well-polished surfaces. 相似文献
Silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) synthesized by the sol–gel approach were engineered for size and surface properties by grafting hydrophobic chains to prevent their aggregation and facilitate their contact with the phase boundary, thus improving their dispersibility in lubricant base oils. The surface modification was performed by covalent binding of long chain alkyl functionalities using lauric acid and decanoyl chloride to the SiO2 NP surface. The hybrid SiO2 NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, simultaneous differential thermal analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and dynamic light scattering, while their dispersion in two base oils was studied by static multiple light scattering at low (0.01% w/v) and high (0.50%w/v) concentrations. The nature of the functional layer and the functionalization degree seemed to be directly involved in the stability of the suspensions. The potential use of the functional SiO2 NPs as lubricant additives in base oils, specially designed for being used in hydraulic circuits, has been outlined by analyzing the tribological properties of the dispersions. The dendritic structure of the external layer played a key role in the tribological characteristics of the material by reducing the friction coefficient and wear. These nanoparticles reduce drastically the waste of energy in friction processes and are more environmentally friendly than other additives. 相似文献
