Wear Process

Friction and wear of sliding surfaces are responsible for important energy losses and negative environmental effects. The use of environmentally friendly and cost-effective protic ionic liquids as neat lubricants and lubricant additives has the potential to increase the efficiency and durability of mechanical components without increasing the environmental damage. In this work, three halogen-free protic ionic liquids with increasing extent of ionicity, 2-hydroxyethylammonium 2-ethylhexanoate, 2-hydroxymethylammonium 2-ethylhexancate, and 2-hydroxydimethylammonium 2-ethylhexanoate, were synthesized and studied as neat lubricants and additives to a biodegradable oil in a steel–steel contact. The results show that the use of any protic ionic liquid as a neat lubricant or lubricant additive reduced friction and wear with respect to the biodegradable oil. The ionic liquid with the lowest ionicity reached the highest wear reduction. The one possessing the highest ionicity presented the poorest friction and wear behaviors as a neat lubricant, probably due to the more ionic nature of this liquid, which promoted tribocorrosion reactions on the steel surface. This ionic liquid performed better as an additive, showing that a small addition of this liquid in a biodegradable oil is enough to form protective layers on steel surfaces. However, it is not enough to accelerate the wear process with detrimental tribocorrosion reactions.

Acidic Ionic Liquids

Alkyl lactates are produced from lactic acid via esterification, and are used in the production of plastics, paints, solvents and detergents. In the pursuit of an inexpensive, industry-suitable catalyst for this reaction, the application of protic ionic liquids based on nitrogen base and sulphuric acid is proposed. The ionic liquid was synthesised via a simple reaction of triethylamine and a threefold molar excess of sulphuric acid. Water was added to remove the heat of the reaction. Next, the reaction conditions for the model esterification of 2-ethylhexanol with lactic acid without additional solvent were optimised. Exceptionally mild conditions, i.e., a twofold molar excess of alcohol to lactic acid with the addition of an ionic liquid in a catalytic amount (15 mol%) at 60 °C, resulted in high yields of ethyl and 2-ethylhexyl lactates (96–97%). The driving force of this reaction is the production of a biphasic system with immiscible ester during the reaction. This phenomenon makes it possible to overcome the reaction equilibrium. Using an inexpensive ionic liquid, which could be recycled up to five times without diminution in conversion or selectivity, leads to both a greener and a more economically-viable process.

The Impact

We report on the impact of changes in the protic ionic liquid (pIL) cation on the fibrilisation kinetics and the conversion of the Aβ 16–22 from monomers to amyloid fibrils. When we compare the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines we find that the primary amine results in the greatest conversion into amyloid fibrils. We show that the pIL is directly interacting with the peptide and this likely drives the difference in conversion and kinetics observed.
