Electro-active control of the viscous flow and tribological performance of ecolubricants based on phyllosilicate clay minerals and castor oil
García Morales, Moisés; Fernández Silva, Samuel D.; Roman, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2020-11)
Lubricating fluids with highly improved tribological performance very often entail the use of environmentally disrespectful formulations. Based on organoclay dispersions in castor oil, the present research explores the ... -
Experimental Study on the Expended Energy on Structural Degradation of Lubricating Greases
Ahme, Leif; Kuhn, Erik; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel (Springer, 2022)
One of the keystones of tribological studies is the energetical approach to the lubrication process. In the particular case of lubricating greases, part of the lubrication process's energy dissipates due to a shear-induced ... -
Exploring the effect of the pulp bleaching on the thermo-rheological behavior of sustainable cellulose nanofiber-based oleogels
Roman, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Fernández Silva, Samuel David; García Morales, Moisés (Elsevier, 2022-09-17)
Taking advantage of the high thickening capacity of cellulose nanofibers in castor oil, sustainable lubricating oleogels were obtained. Methanol was used as mediator to transfer the nanofibers, originally present as a ... -
Fatigue performance evaluation of bitumen mastics reinforced with polyolefins through a dissipated energy approach
Román, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; García Morales, Moisés (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2020-03)
Polymers are known to improve the fatigue resistance of asphalt mastics. However, undesirable results can be obtained if the polymer is not successfully integrated into the bitumen binder. The goal of this work is to ... -
Influence of the Nanoclay Concentration and Oil Viscosity on the Rheological and Tribological Properties of Nanoclay-Based Ecolubricants
Fernández Silva, Samuel D.; García Morales, Moisés; Ruffel, Charlène; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel (MDPI, 2021-01)
This manuscript describes a rheological and tribological study carried out on eco-friendly lubricants. These ecolubricants were made up of nanoclays as dispersed phase (a layered nanosilicate (montmorillonite Cloisite ... -
Modification of Alkali Lignin with Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Diglycidyl Ether to Be Used as a Thickener in Bio-Lubricant Formulations
Cortés Triviño, Esperanza; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Franco Gómez, José María (MDPI, 2018-06)
Considerable efforts are currently being made by the academic community and industry, aiming to develop environmentally friendly lubricants with suitable technical features for their performance. In this context, lignin ... -
Oleins as a source of estolides for biolubricant applications
García Zapateiro, Luis Alberto; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Franco Gómez, José María; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Ruiz Méndez, M. V.; Garcés, R.; Gallegos Cázeres, Leticia (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC: Instituto de la Grasa, 2010-06)
This study deals with the synthesis of estolides from high-oleic sunflower oil oleins, and its potential use as viscosity modifiers for biolubricant applications. Synthesis reactions were monitored for 24 h. Estolide ... -
On the Steady-State Flow and Yielding Behaviour of Lubricating Greases
Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Secouard, Sebastien; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Franco Gómez, José María (MDPI, 2019)
Practical steady-state flow curves were obtained from different rheological tests and protocols for five lubricating greases, containing thickeners of a rather different nature, i.e., aluminum complex, lithium, lithium ... -
Potential valorization of waste cooking oils into sustainable bio-lubricants
Fernández Silva, Samuel David; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Ruíz Méndez, María Victoria; Giráldez, Inmaculada; García Morales, Moisés (Elsevier, 2022-05-26)
