Studies on Wool Grease

Oxidation of Wool : Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Wool

The purpose of this investigation was to provide quantitative data showing the effect of oxidizing agents on wool as a basis for studying all processes in which wool is exposed to oxidation reactions. The work reported in this paper deals only with the effect of hydrogen peroxide. Data are presented showing the effects on wool of varying the concentration, temperature, and pH of the hydrogen pe...

GrEASe: Grid Environment based on Agent Services

— This paper presents an agent-based infrastructure for grid computing called GrEASe (Grid Environment based on Agent Services). Grids are typically complex, heterogeneous, and highly dynamic environments, and agent technology can satisfy the basic requirements of this kind of contexts. GrEASe is organized as a two layer structure: the lower one providing the resource independent functionalitie...

Effect of Alkalies on Wool

Data on the effect of various alkaline reagents on the physical and chemical properties of wool yarn are presented. When wool is treated with dilute sodiumhydroxide solutions, a rapid splitting off of a portion of the sulphur occurs. On continued treatment, the sulphur content of the residual wool approaches a constant value of about 1.8 percent. The results indicate that the alkaline treatment...

Fatty acids and antioxidant effects on grease microstructures

The search for biobased material as industrial and automotive lubricants has accelerated in recent years. This trend is primarily due to the nontoxic and biodegradable characteristics of seed oils that can substitute mineral oil as base fluid in grease making. The paper discusses the preparation of lithium soap-based soy greases using different fatty acids and the determination of crystallite s...
