“…In the neat PPA GF15 reference EDX micrograph, the orientation of the fibres is not entirely in one direction, but is mostly aligned parallel to the running surface. The detected elements, such as aluminium (Al), calcium (Ca), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O), are typical for glass fibres [31][32][33][34]. For all EDX micrographs (see Figure 8), the colour pattern of the fibres depicts worn glass fibres that accumulate in the area of the matrix-incorporated fibres [15,17,35].…”

Technical thermoplastic materials (e.g., PEEK, PPA and POM) are widely used for tribological applications combined with different filler systems (e.g., glass- or carbon fibres) because of their excellent mechanical properties. The friction and wear behaviour of thermoplastics can be specifically improved by solid lubrication systems such as graphite, PTFE and MoS2. Besides these systems, others such as WoS2 and MnS are becoming scientifically interesting. This work investigates the influence of different solid lubricants—alternative metal sulphides and polymer-based—in combination with different glass fibre contents on the tribological behaviour of unfilled PEEK and glass fibre-filled PPA. For this purpose, compounds were produced and injection-moulded into tribological test specimens that were subsequently tested. It is particularly evident for both matrix materials that the solid lubricant SLS 22 shows a 25% wear rate reduction when compared to MoS2 and, in addition, the proportion of fibre content in PPA shows an additional wear rate reduction by a factor of 10. The friction level could be kept at a similar level compared to the usually utilised solid lubricants. The investigations showed the potential use of metal sulphide filler systems in high-performance thermoplastic with enhanced tribological properties as alternatives to the well-established solid lubricants.

“…GFRC is not a new generation material it was used by ancient Egyptians to make vessels, which was later used as a decorative material by Venetian glassmakers in Europe (16th and 17th centuries). 1 Over time, the modern world began to see its intriguing properties comparable to alloys, and at times superior to alloys, as a reinforced polymer composite. There is a greater surface area between nanoparticles and the rough surface texture of the glass fiber, resulting in more adhesive interaction between them.…”

Glass fiber reinforced composite has gained attention from various engineering fields because of its enhanced properties. This paper reviewed the mechanical characteristics, such as tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness number, impact strength, wear percentage, etc., of the composites from different experimental studies performed by various researchers over time; by varying with the weight percentage of different metal and non-metal nanoparticles. The main observation was that the mechanical properties remained optimal at a certain quantity of nanoparticles was added beyond which these characteristics began to decrease. When more than one type of nanoparticle is dispersed, or micro rubber particles are added with a specific type of nanoparticle, the properties are more pronounced than when only a single type of particle is used.

Textiles are common materials everyone is using every day. However, most people are not aware of the processes involved in making textiles such useful material. The article provides an overview of dyeing and finishing processes of commonly used textile materials. Dyeing processes for the coloration of a textile fabric and fabric finishing for treating fabrics at the end of their production to impart specific properties to the textile products are discussed.
