A review on the properties and tribological performance of recent non- aqueous miscible lubricants

This review presents the literature review on the recent research on the tribological performance of non -water miscible lubricants. First, the paper reviewed the tribological properties of vegetable oil, blend oil, synthetic oil and ionic liquid. Aside from that, the tribological performance of lubricants with ionic liq-uids (ILs) and nanoparticles is being studied. According to the findings, more research should be con-ducted into oil-miscible ILs for mineral, vegetable oils and nanolubricant. The review has also explained the dispersion stability, viscosity and viscosity index, thermal conductivity, thermal -oxidative stability and tribological performance of nanolubricant. Finally, future recommendations on lubricant research are also discussed.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

This review presents the recent research on the tribological performance of non -water miscible lubricants. It discusses the tribological properties of various lubricants, such as vegetable oil, blend oil, synthetic oil, ionic liquid, as well as the use of nanoparticles. The findings suggest the need for further research on oil-miscible ionic liquids for mineral, vegetable oils, and nanolubricants. The review also explains the characteristics of nanolubricants, including dispersion stability, viscosity, thermal conductivity, thermal-oxidative stability, and tribological performance. Future recommendations for lubricant research are also discussed.
