Synthesis and application of highly efficient multifunctional vegetable oil additives derived from biophenols

3 The greatest challenge of vegetable oils (VOs) used as green lubricants is their oxidation stability. The potential of incorporating sustainable components to VOs as high efficient antioxidant additives can be beneficial to both energy conservation and environment protection. In this paper, bio-based multifunctional additives (BMAs) were specially designed and synthesized with the aim of maximizing VOs’ oxidation stability by combining...
