This text will be the first book dedicated to multifunctional bio-based lubricants. It will provide detailed coverage on all aspects of the field including the need for these lubricants and their performance, the synthesis and design routes, and their valuable multifunctional properties. The environmental benefits and superior properties of these lubricants will be covered to promote their usage on an industrial scale.

The book will provide guidelines to allow a practitioner or researcher to modify a bio-based ionic liquid lubricant to display multiple properties, and it will cover the future market of multifunctional bio-based lubricants based on the potential applications.

Sustainability will be a key focus of the book, and it will raise awareness of the need to develop bio-based lubricants with a lower environmental footprint than traditional lubricants, cover methods for synthesising lubricants from waste plastics (an emerging technique) and discuss suitable techniques for their eventual disposal.
