Lubricity, tribological and rheological properties of green ester oil prepared from bio-based azelaic acid

Plant oil derived compounds have been used as the raw material for the synthesis of green biolubricant. Azelaic acid derived from oleic acid is one of the interesting compounds. The synthesis of azelate esters oil based synthetic green biolubricants was carried out. The esterification process of azelaic acid with variety type of alcohols was catalyzed by concentrated H2SO4. The yields percentages of azelate esters oil produced were varied depending their overall molecular structure. The azelate esters oil properties were evaluated for their suitability as a biolubricant. The results showed that the linear azelate esters oil showed high pour point values in a range of 15 to 5°C for di-decyl azelate, di-octyl azelate and di-hexyl azelate respectively. On the other hands, the branch azelate esters oil showed very low pour point of -70, -58 and -50°C for di-2-butyloctyl azelate, di-2-ethylhexanol azelate and di-2-ethylbutyl azelate, respectively. Moreover, the linear azelate esters oil gave high values of flash point, viscosity index and oxidative stability, and they were slightly affected by branching molecule structure. The tribological and rheological properties of high molecular azelate esters oil were also performed. Subsequently, most of them were classified as non-Newtonian fluids and having boundary lubrication properties with low friction coefficient. The branch azelate esters oil is plausible to be used as green biolubricants in many applications including automotive, marine engine oils, compressor oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils and industrial biolubricants.

Cosmetic composition

A composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin or hair for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth comprises: (i) a first chemical inhibitor chosen from proteoglycanase inhibitors, glycosaminoglycanase inhibitors, glycosaminoglycan chain cellular uptake inhibitors or mixtures thereof; and (ii) a cosmetically acceptable vehicle for the chemical inhibitor; provided that when the first chemical inhibitor is a weak inhibitor, such that a 1 mM aqueous solution of the inhibitor reduces proteoglycanase activity, glycosaminoglycanase activity or cellular uptake of glycosaminoglycan chains, by from 5 to 50%, in accordance with at least one of the assay tests as herein described, then there is also present in the composition a second chemical inhibitor and/or an activity enhancer. When minoxidil is the sole chemical inhibitor, then the activity enhancer is a penetration enhancer chosen from a limited number of materials, including certain esters and cationic polymers. The total amount of chemical inhibitor present in the composition is sufficient to increase hair growth in the rat, when said composition is applied topically thereto, by at least 10% more than that obtainable using a control composition from which the said inhibitors have been omitted.
