Low‐ and zero‐sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur anti‐wear additives for engine oils

H. A. Spikes · 3 Jan 2008

Abstract Modern engine lubricant specifications include compositional constraints in terms of the permitted level of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur (SAPS). This necessitates a reduction in the concentration of the additive zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) used in engine oils, and there is currently great interest in identifying anti‐wear additives that contain low or zero SAPS to…

Mixed lubrication — an overview

H. A. Spikes · 1 May 1997

Abstract The regime known as ‘mixed’ lubrication lies between those of hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic. This paper reviews work on this subject, in order to recognise the key areas of progress, and of ignorance. Film thickness and surface roughness are discussed, to conclude that below certain values of λ, there are limitations to earlier models. Computational…

An evaluation of antioxidants for vegetable oils at elevated temperatures

Roland Becker, A. Knorr · 1 Jan 1996

Abstract The antioxidant efficacy of various oxidation inhibitors in low erucic acid rapeseed oil has been studied in a screening test at 130°C by an induction period method. Hindered monophenols, sulphides, phosphites, aromatic amines and zinc dithiophosphates yielded no or only marginal stabilising effects. Remarkably increased oxidation stabilities were observed with certain hindered bisphenols, polyhydroxybenzenes,…

Poly‐α‐olefin‐based synthetic lubricants: a short review on various synthetic routes

Saptarshi Ray, Peddy V.C. Rao, Nettem V. Choudary · 5 Sep 2011

ABSTRACT This paper reviews various synthetic protocols for poly‐α‐olefin (PAO) synthetic lubricant base stocks that have evolved over the years. Apart from conventional Lewis acid catalysts known for the synthesis of poly‐α‐olefins, such as aluminium trichloride and boron trifluoride, several new catalysts such as metallocenes and ionic liquids have been reported by various researchers. With…

Sixty years of EHL

H. A. Spikes · 3 Aug 2006

Abstract It is now 60 years since Ertel produced the first solution to the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problem. There has been enormous progress since then, both in numerical modelling and in experimental research on EHL. The moving, rough surface EHL problem can now be solved on laptop‐level computers, while maps of film thickness, pressure and…

Lubrication Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Lubrication Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Lubrication Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Lubrication Science use?
Lubrication Science uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Lubrication Science 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Lubrication Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Lubrication Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Lubrication Science template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Lubrication Science format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Lubrication Science?
Lubrication Science is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Lubrication Science template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Lubrication Science PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Lubrication Science template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
