Journal ArticleDOI
Epoxidized soybean oil as a potential source of high-temperature lubricants
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and genetically modified high oleic soybean oils (HOSBO) in certain high temperature lubricant application was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lubricant basestocks from vegetable oils
Sevim Z. Erhan,Svajus Asadauskas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thin film oxidation test was used to compare the oxidative stabilities of vegetable oils and synthetic biodegradable basestocks, such as isoalkyl adipates or poly alphaolefins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation and low temperature stability of vegetable oil-based lubricants
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticle system increases cytotoxicity of doxorubicin against multidrug-resistant human breast cancer cells.
Ho Lun Wong,Andrew M. Rauth,Reina Bendayan,Janet L. Manias,Manisha Ramaswamy,Zengshe Liu,Sevim Z. Erhan,Xiao Yu Wu +7 more
TL;DR: The new polymer–lipid hybrid nanoparticle system is effective for delivery of Dox and enhances its efficacy against MDR breast cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tribological studies of thermally and chemically modified vegetable oils for use as environmentally friendly lubricants
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.
