SiToLub project aims to develop a digital tool/platform for the Safe and Sustainable by Design formulation of new lubricants. The tools developed will provide assessment of the safety (toxicity to humans, ecotoxicity to environment and workers risk) and, at the same time, sustainability guidance to design ecofluids (coolants, greases, oils) in a clear and holistic way regarding the foreseeable physico-chemical properties and tribological performance. The safety assessment will be realized by using molecular dynamic models developed by the partners. The tribological models will allow the prediction of the energy consumption during use by providing friction force values, and expected durability of the materials by using wear data about the materials in contact with different fluids. they will also provide information about tthe degradation of the fluids in use and the chemical reactions occurring. The models will be flexible enough to predict the behaviour of the materials for different working parameters applied for different applications (wind turbines, electric cars and waterborne) This ambitious and forward-thinking system will leverage on a series of tools, ranging from technical evaluation and prediction models (computational models supported by artificial intelligence), combined with established Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA)methodologies to consider the environmental, social and economic impact. The project will move in close collaboration with already funded European projects as i Tribomat (H2020 G.A. 814494) for the creation of a OiTB for tribological materials, OntoCommons (H2020 G.A. 958371) for the standardisation of data documentation across all domains related to materials and manufacturing and IRISS (HORIZON EUROPE G.A. 101058245), the international ecosystem for accelerating the transition to Safe-and-Sustainable-by-design materials, products and processes.

SiToLub 项目旨在开发一个数字工具/平台，用于安全和可持续设计的新型润滑油配方。开发的工具将提供安全性评估（对人类的毒性、对环境的生态毒性和工人风险），同时提供可持续性指导，以根据可预见的物理特性以清晰、全面的方式设计生态流体（冷却剂、润滑脂、油）。 -化学性能和摩擦学性能。安全评估将通过合作伙伴开发的分子动力学模型来实现。摩擦学模型将通过提供摩擦力值来预测使用过程中的能耗，并通过使用与不同流体接触的材料的磨损数据来预测材料的预期耐久性。他们还将提供有关使用中流体的降解和发生的化学反应的信息。这些模型将足够灵活，可以预测不同应用（风力涡轮机、电动汽车和水上运输）的不同工作参数下材料的行为。这个雄心勃勃且具有前瞻性的系统将利用一系列工具，包括技术评估和预测模型（人工智能支持的计算模型），结合现有的生命周期分析（LCA）方法来考虑环境、社会和经济影响。该项目将与已资助的欧洲项目密切合作，如 i Tribomat (H2020 G.A. 814494)，用于创建摩擦学材料的 OiTB；OntoCommons (H2020 G.A. 958371)，用于实现与材料和制造相关的所有领域的数据文档标准化和 IRISS（HORIZON EUROPE G.A. 101058245），加速向安全和可持续设计材料、产品和工艺过渡的国际生态系统。
