Tribological behaviour of novel chemically modified biopolymer-thickened lubricating greases investigated in a steel–steel rotating ball-on-three plates tribology cell

Abstract: In this work, model renewable and biodegradable lubricating greases based on castor oil and chemically modified biopolymers (methylcellulose, chitin and cellulosic pulp) were tribologically characterized in a steel–steel ball-on-plates tribological cell coupled to a controlled-stress rheometer, and the results were compared to those provided by conventional lithium and calcium soap-based greases. Viscous flow, sliding velocity sweep and transient friction tests were carried out and resulting wear scars in the … Show more

“…Samples C1-C6 were commercially available calcium and lithium soap-based greases whereas biopolymer-based model samples M1 and M2 were manufactured in the laboratory as described elsewhere [29,30]. Compositional details of the different lubricating greases analysed in this study as well as basic properties are listed in Table 1.…”

“…Samples were placed in a tribological cell coupled with a controlled-stress rheometer, Physica MCR-501 (Anton Paar, Austria), as described elsewhere [30]. At least three replicates of each test were performed at room temperature on fresh samples and resulting worked grease samples were analyzed by AFM.…”

“…At least five replicates of each test were done using fresh oleogel samples as lubricants. For the sake of comparison, the same tribological test was also performed under the same conditions using a commercial lithium lubricating grease [24].…”

“…As mentioned above, lower scar sizes were measured when cellulose pulps obtained from straw submitted to SSF treatments were employed, especially those resulting from the MDG301 action at its optimum temperature. Overall, outstanding wear values were obtained, lower than those found with commercial and other bio-based lubricating greases [51,52]. thickener, can penetrate in the lubricating contact, and the highest friction is just a consequence of the higher viscosity [18].…”
