Lubricant selection and cleaner chemistry is oftentimes one of the most overlooked parts of industrial metal processing. Their selection can affect not only the ability to adequately clean parts; it can also potentially affect the success of a waste minimization effort to recycle the cleaner. Certain lubricants are more compatible with certain cleaning processes than others. This paper will dis...

The present concept of being globally “green” puts additional demands on lubricants. They are to be biodegradable and ecofriendly. Therefore, in a search for alternate lubricants meeting the above demands, we have synthesized biodegradable new generation esters using alcohols such as 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propane diol and 2,2-diethyl-1,3-propane diol and fatty acids like caproic and 2-ethyl caproic ...

It can be said that lubricants are used to reduce the friction between rubbing surfaces. This is done by separating the moving surfaces with a film of the lubricant, thereby replacing the friction of the metal to metal surfaces by the internal friction within the lubricant itself. Lubricants also act as a cooling agent to carry away heat generated by friction or conducted to the bearing surface...

Vaginal dryness is a common condition that is particularly prevalent during and after the menopause, and is one of the symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy/genitourinary syndrome of menopause. The impact of vaginal dryness on interpersonal relationships, quality of life, daily activities, and sexual function can be significant, but is frequently underestimated. Furthermore, barriers exist to treatm...

In view of their possible application as high temperature solid lubricants, the tribological and thermochemical properties of several organosilica networks were investigated over a range of temperatures between 25 and 580 °C. Organosilica networks, obtained from monomers with terminal and bridging organic groups, were synthesized by a sol-gel process. The influence of carbon content, crosslink ...
