". a novel reference for R&D activities and suitable feed stocks to be used for the preparation of bio based lubricants." --Dr. A. S. Sarpal, Inmetro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ". a very thorough book on a current active scientific area. The editors have done a good job in selecting authors with expertise in their subject.

" --Joseph M. Perez, Professor Emeritus, Tribology Group, Chemical Engineering Department, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA ". a useful book for all who are working in this fascinating and important area of renewables. Full of references and novel approaches." --Manfred Schneider, Bergische Universitt, Wuppertal, Germany "This book attempts to focus on recent developments in the field, building on accumulated knowledge over the years. Diversity in content and depth of research material discussed, this edition is uniquely positioned to appeal to new researchers in the field and subject matter experts alike." --Dr. Atanu Adhvaryu, Afton Chemical Corporation ".

a broad spectrum of cutting-edge reports with interesting findings, based on innovative approaches and sound concepts." --Svajus Joseph Asadauskas, Institute of Chemistry, CPST, Vilnius, Lithuania "This book brings up-to-date information regarding biolubricants under one roof. Provides easy access to other relevant references. Brings topics that are not as well-known into discussion and consideration. A valuable addition to the lubricant world." --Selim Erhan, Ph.D. ".

a superb reference for those who are new to or work in the field of environmentally fluids with the goal of producing cost-effective commercial products with performance properties equivalent to--or perhaps in some areas--even better properties than the corresponding petroleum-based products." -- Tribology & Lubrication Technology , December 2016 "The range of biobased products presented here is comprehensive, imaginative, based on good science, and with some products having surprisingly good lubrication properties." -- Chromatographia , January 2017.
