Menezes.There is a critical need for engineers to move away from using conventional petroleum-based oils and lubricants in mechanical systems due to their environmental impact. As the first book dedicated to multifunctional bio-based lubricants, this reference text provides detailed coverage on all aspects of the field, including the need for these lubricants and their performance, the synthesis and design routes, and their valuable multifunctional properties. The environmental benefits and superior properties of these lubricants are covered. With sustainability as a key focus, the book raises awareness of the need to develop bio-based lubricants with a lower environmental footprint than traditional lubricants, covers methods for synthesising lubricants from waste plastics (an emerging technique) and discusses suitable techniques for their eventual disposal.Researchers in the fields of mechanical engineering and tribology, particularly those designing or investigating multifunctional bio-based lubricants.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Ashish Kasar received his PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno. He is working in the field of tribology that specifically includes composites with solid lubricants for severe environmental conditions, and environmentally friendly bio-lubricants such as vegetable oil and ionic liquids. He has published 36 articles in peer-reviewed journals and two book chapters. He has presented his research work at prestigious conferences--Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) and The Materials Science & Technology (MS&T). Arpith Siddaiah received his PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno. His expertise in tribology, surface engineering, CAD/CAM, GD&T, and automated manufacturing has enabled him to be involved in innovative R&D projects and produce 25 research articles, 14 conference publications, and a patent. He is an editor of the book Tribocorrosion: Fundamentals, Methods, and Materials and is a reviewer for two reputed research journals. Pradeep Menezes is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. He previously worked as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Research Assistant Professor at University of Pittsburgh. His productive research career has produced over 160 peer-reviewed journal publications (citations over 8000, h-index 43), 40 book chapters, eight books and one patent.Title from PDF title page (viewed on March 31, 2023).
