Abstract
In this study, we have concluded the rheological behavior of the unadded and additived soybean oil with nanoadditives. The used soybean oil can be used for biodegradable lubricant. The mathematical model that best describes the rheological behavior is the power law model that also includes the nanoadditive concentration. Power-law modeling of the shear stress-strain rate dependence has a small correlation coefficient due to the hysteresis loop. If only the load curve is considered, the dependence has a tendency close to the linear one.
