Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tribological properties of poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) with nano/microstructure core-shell lanthanum borate-SiO2 composites (OCLS). Design/methodology/approach – Oleic acid-capped core-shell lanthanum borate-SiO2 composites were synthesized by an easy way. The composites were characterized by means of Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The friction and wear behaviors of the quenched AISI 1045 steel specimens sliding against AISI 52100 steel under the lubrication of PAO containing OCLS were comparatively investigated with PAO containing SiO2 additive on an Optimol SRV reciprocating friction and wear tester. On the other hand, the tribological properties of the PAO containing OCLS were also investigated on four-ball tester. Findings – The diameter of OCLS was about 20 nm, and the thickness of the SiO2 shell was less than 5 nm. The ratio of oleic acid (OA) is about 15 percent. The PAO containing OCLS possesses much better tribological properties than that of pure PAO and PAO containing SiO2 additive. Originality/value – The PAO+OCLS possess a better friction reducing and antiwear properties than pure PAO. The new additive can improve the tribological ability of machinery.

In this study, ZSM-22 was synthesized using N,N-diethylaniline as a template through a hydrothermal method. The proton and various metals such as zirconium, strontium, and iron were immobilized on the surface of obtained zeolites through the ion exchange method. The catalysts were studied by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption isotherms, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) elemental analysis, and Temperature-Programmed Desorption of ammonia (TPD-NH3) technique for determining the number of acid sites. In the esterification reaction of oleic acid, the operating conditions such as catalyst dosage, temperature, molar ratio of methanol to oil, and reaction time were optimized and adjusted at 11 wt%, 70°C, 10 : 1, and 48 h subsequently. The maximum yield% of 48.07% was achieved in the presence of Zr-H-ZSM-22 at optimum conditions. In order to improve the efficiency of three zeolites Zr-H-ZSM-22, Fe-H-ZSM-22, and Sr-H-ZSM-22, the core-shell structures with SiO2 coating were prepared. Zr-H-ZSM-22@SiO2 was less active than Zr-H-ZSM-22 due to the SiO2 coverage of Lewis active sites.

Spectrophotometers are routinely used to assess the turbidity of vesicle solutions. Here we provide guidelines for interpreting turbidity measurements of vesicle samples, and highlight potential pitfalls of the approach. We use an exact solution for core-shell scatterers to model and calculate how samples of vesicles scatter light, and provide a comprehensive overview of how the turbidity of vesicle samples can change with vesicle size, contents, and composition. Surprisingly, we find that vesicle lamellarity has a large effect on sample turbidity, while unilamellar vesicles of different sizes have similar turbidity. We use our model in conjunction with experimental data to measure the thickness of oleic acid vesicle membranes and find excellent agreement with values determined by cryo-TEM. We also calculate the effects of potential errors in measurement from forward scattering and multiple scattering.
