TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic approach to improve the oxidation behavior and low temperature fluidity of vegetable oil derivatives is presented, where the combination of chemical additives, diluent (polyalpha-olefin), and high-oleic vegetable oils offer the best option for achieving the ultimate goal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that increasing the polar functionality of vegetable oil structure has a positive impact on wear protection resulting from stronger adsorption on metal surface as well as greater lateral interaction between the ester chains.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of vegetable oils and oils derived from genetically modified vegetables were evaluated using pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC) to illustrate the effect of high oleic and linoleic content on the thermal and oxidative behavior of these oils.

TL;DR: In this article, two types of TMP esters were considered: palm kernel (PKOTE) and palm oil (PPOTE) TMPEsters, derived from palm oil and palm kernel methyl esters, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of antioxidant/anti-wear additive synergism was investigated on a set of four antioxidants and three antiwear additives in vegetable oils using pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC) and a rotary bomb oxidation test (RBOT).
