What is it about?
Lubricants are widely used in our daily lives. However, most of petroleum-based lubricants are non-biodegradable which pose a major threat to environment for disposal. Thus, development of plant-based lubricants which are comparable in term of performance is highly sought. In this paper, we developed dimerate ester lubricant derived from plant oil which exhibit excellent low temperature properties.

Why is it important?
This work is important in an effort to have a more sustainable lubricant industry.
Perspectives
I hope this article could reach more people and create an awareness of there is so much more to be explored in ensuring our environment can be sustained efficiently.
