Abstract (EN): In response to the mounting concern over environmental pollution and the depletion of petroleum reserves, biolubricants have emerged as a promising alternative to mineral oil-based lubricants. Thus, the aim of this research is the tribological characterization of green castor and soybean nanolubricants containing functionalized CaCO3 3 nanoparticles. Friction improvements were reached with maximum friction decreases of 14 % and 18 % compared to castor and soybean oils. Concerning wear, optimal concentration for castor and soybean nanolubricants was intermediate concentration of 0.15 wt% with width wear reductions of 27 % and 24 % compared to castor and soybean oils, respectively. Tribological mechanisms of tribofilm formation, repairing and rolling-bearing were identified. In rolling-sliding tests, the use of nanoparticles was crucial at low speeds with outstanding friction reductions.
