Title: Innovations of Satya Bhaskar Potula
Introduction
Satya Bhaskar Potula is an accomplished inventor based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He has made significant contributions to the field of lubricants through his innovative research and development. With a total of 4 patents to his name, Potula is recognized for his work in creating sustainable and efficient lubricant base stocks.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Castor oil fatty acid based estolide esters and their derivatives as potential lubricant base stocks." In this invention, castor oil was hydrolyzed to produce castor fatty acids, which were then self-condensed to create a ricinoleic acid-based estolide with an acid value of approximately 95. The subsequent esterification of the carboxylic group of the estolide with linear or branched chain alcohols, along with the acetylation of the free hydroxy group, resulted in the formation of castor oil fatty acid-based estolide esters and their acetates. These products were evaluated for various properties, including total acid number (TAN), viscosity, viscosity index, pour point, flash point, and copper strip corrosion, demonstrating their potential as lubricant base stocks.
Another notable patent is "Polyol esters of medium chain fatty acids and process for preparation thereof." This invention involves the esterification of different polyols, containing 5-6 carbon atoms and 2-4 hydroxyl groups, with 10-undecenoic acid or undecanoic acid. The resulting esters were characterized for lubricant properties such as viscosity, viscosity index, pour point, flash point, and copper corrosion tests. The findings indicate that these synthetic esters, derived from renewable resources like vegetable oils, exhibit superior performance at a lower cost compared to traditional mineral oil-based synthetic esters.
