Investigation of the interactions between a novel, organic anti-wear additive, ZDDP and overbased calcium sulphonate
Harmful environmental impact is limiting the use of conventional lubricant additives for anti-wear performance. For the first time, this paper introduced the mechanisms how an environmentally-friendly lubricant additive provides superior anti-wear performance to conventional additives. It provided novel/non-conventional approach for wear protection of engines, major impact on development of novel lubricants for markets in USA/Europe (Lubrizol/Mike.Sutton@lubrizol.com). - Led to a follow-on PhD project (Lubrizol/EPSRC CASE, £96k/Mike.Sutton@lubrizol.com), - Internationally recognised (Morina invited to examine a PhD viva of a candidate in Ecole Centrale de Lyon in France/Clotilde.Minfray@ec-lyon.fr)). The PhD candidate (Greenall/Andrew.Greenall@shell.com) successfully graduated and is now employed in Shell, Germany.
