The study evaluates the micronized poloxamers Lptrol micro127 (poloxamer 407) and Lptrol micro 68 (poloxamer 188) as lubricants in combination with the dry binders microcrystalline cellulose and spray-dried lactose. Magnesium stearate was employed as the comparative lubricant. The parameters under study included energy for friction, plasticity, ejection force, tensile strength of tablets, and d...

A better knowledge of the transport and thermodynamic properties for the refrigerant+lubricant system is required to properly design the refrigeration circuit. This is essential also to develop proper models able to predict the behavior of the mixture refrigerant+lubricant depending on the working conditions. However, the experimental data available in literature are insufficient to build dedic...

• Thermophysical and surface properties of eight different lubricants were measured. The behaviour polyalphaolefins ester-based compared. Heat capacity values used to test the validity two predictive methods. are important understand which ones appropriated for industrial conditions expected. families analysed: (PAO6, PAO20, PAO32 PAO40) four lubricants. Specific heat capacity, density, tension...

The lubricant is a critical component of an automotive AJC system. Besides providing good lubricity, it must exhibit sufficient solubility in the refrigerant to ensure lubricant return to the compressor. Stability in the presence of the refrigerant, metals, and common contaminants such as air, water, and mineral oil is critical. The lubricant must also be compatible with the hoses and other ela...

Gravity flow characteristics of various pharmaceutical granules through static conical hoppers of different cone angles were studied. Mass flow rate depends on properties of granules and cone angles when environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity are kept within a fixed range. The granules were made with active pharmaceutical ingredients as per Indian pharmacopoeia with ...

I& ABSTRACT (Mnu/vm 290 word) As outlined in the original proposal our work deals with NMR and laser Raman scattering experiments on highly viscous liquids, including lubricants, both in bulk and confined geometries, over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. In a general sense we focus on the relationship between molecular level properties as obtained from our experiments and the macrosc...

Desorption or evaporation is one of the mechanisms for loss of perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPE) lubricants from the surfaces of data storage media. One approach to minimizing PFPE loss to desorption is the use of lubricants with increasing molecular weight or increasing average chain length. In order to understand the effects of chain length on the lubricant evaporation kinetics we have studied t...

The low-friction properties of quasicrystal surfaces suggest their use as coatings on moving machine parts, including those in internal combustion engines. In such applications, additional lubricants are typically used. Since the low-friction properties of quasicrystals are thought to depend on their aperiodic structures, the interactions of lubricants on quasicrystalline surfaces may have an i...
