ABSTRACT
Synthesis of new lubricants nowadays is increasing to improve the
lubricity properties and the quality of lubricant. In the current study, eight
diesters with different chemical structures were tested in terms of their
suitability as lubricants. The esterification reaction was carried out using
Dean-Stark distillation method with some modification. Fourier transformation
infra-red (FTIR),
proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), were used to verify
the chemical structure of the diesters. The results showed that the dioleyl
pimelate (DOlP),
dioleyl adipate (DOlA), dioleyl glutarate (DOlG), and dioleyl
succinate (DOlSuc)
showed good low temperature properties with pour point values at -10, -12, -16
and -20°C, respectively. The dioleyl dodecanedioate (DOlD) indicated
remarkable flash point value at 305°C and had slightly high oxidative stability
temperature (OT)
at 183°C. The flash point increased with the number of carbons for dicarboxylic
acid used, while oxidative stability was affected by the unsaturated of oleyl
alcohol. Tribological study showed that the diesters were non-Newtonian except DOlD,
which was Newtonian fluid. All the diesters were found to be boundary
lubricants with low coefficients of friction (COF). Overall, the
results indicated that all the diesters studied can be used as lubricating base
oils.
Keywords: Coefficients of friction; flash point; oxidative
stability; pour point; tribological properties
ABSTRAK
Sintesis pelincir pada masa ini telah meningkat
untuk menambahbaik sifat pelinciran dan kualiti sesuatu minyak pelincir. Dalam kajian ini, lapan jenis
ester berlainan struktur kimia telah diuji kesetabilannya untuk
kegunaan pelincir. Tindak balas pengesteran
telah dilakukkan dengan menggunakan penyulingan Dean-Stark dengan
sedikit pengubahsuian. Struktur kimia diester terhasil dibuktikan
dengan menggunakan transformasi Fourier inframerah (FTIR),
nuklear magnetik resonan proton dan karbon (1H-NMR dan 13C-NMR). Hasil kajian menunjukkan
dioleil pimelat (DOlP), dioleil adipat (DOlA), dioleil glutarat
(DOlG)
dan dioleil suksinat (DOlSuc) mempunyai sifat suhu rendah yang baik
dengan nilai takat tuang masing-masing pada -10, -12, -16 dan -20°C.
Dioleil dodekanedioat (DOlD) pula menunjukkan nilai takat kilat yang
tinggi pada 305°C dan mempunyai kestabilan oksidatif (OT) yang agak tinggi pada
183°C. Takat kilat ester meningkat dengan peningkatan bilangan
karbon asid dikarboksilik yang digunakan, sementara kestabilan oksidatif
dipengaruhi oleh ketaktepuan alkohol oleil. Kajian
tribologi menunjukkan diester yang terhasil bersifat bukan-Newtonian
kecuali DOlD, yang bersifat bendalir
Newtonian. Kesemua diester menunjukkan
sifat pelincir sempadan dengan pekali geseran (COF) yang rendah. Secara
keseluruhannya, hasil kajian menunjukkan kesemua diester kajian
boleh digunakan sebagai minyak asas pelincir.
Kata kunci: Kestabilan oksidatif; pekali
geseran; sifat tribologi; takat kilat; takat tuang
