Lubricating oils play an important role in friction-reducing and anti-wear, as well as
enhancing mechanical efficiency. To improve the oxidation stability and service life of …

An analysis of common reinforcement methods of machine parts and theoretical bases for
the selection of their chemical composition were carried out. Prospects for using flux-cored …

The prospects of using biopolymer nano-containing films for wound healing were
substantiated. The main components of biopolymer composites are gelatin, polyvinyl …

Biodiesel plants are struggling to find value added applications for fatty acid methyl esters
(FAME). One option for FAME valorization would be dibasic esters, which can be …

Purpose–Workmanship concerns lead to more focus on volatile materials, released by
industrial lubricants. Typically, flash point test and thermo‐gravimetrical analysis (TGA) are …

In this paper, two-channel and differential dielectric spectroscopy (TD-DES) measurement
method has been proposed and the corresponding TD-DES Analyzer based on AD5933 …

With broader application of biodiesel, reports about residues, varnish and other solid
deposits in engines emerge more frequently. A thin film degradation test, originally …

Oxidised aluminum coatings are useful in various high technology applications to protect
surfaces from negative environmental effects. In this study, aluminum discs and foils of …

Volatile materials, released by lubricants, relate to various engineering, occupational and
workmanship aspects. Most tests (flash point, NOACK, TGA etc.) assess thermodynamic …

Abstract Rubber from End-of-Life Tires (ELT) is often used as secondary raw material for
composites. Polyurethane adhesives are widely employed in such formulations, since they …
