Optimization of tribological behavior of nano clay particle with sisal/jute/glass/epoxy polymer hybrid composites using RSM

Abstract

The tribological properties are one of the most significant properties in many automobile components such as clutch plate, break shoe, engine liner, piston pin, etc. At present work, attempt on nano clay is loaded with natural fibers (sisal and jute), artificial fiber (E‐glass), and epoxy resin. In this investigation, the specific wear rate and coefficient of friction are analyzed by pin on disc apparatus under dry sliding conditions. The experiment design carried by Box–Behnken design on design of experiment techniques with influence wear parameters, namely, filler content, applied load, sliding distance, and sliding velocity; its responses are analyzed by response surface methodology. The regression mathematical models performed for all the responses, and the most influential factors determined by analysis of variance technique, S/N ratio. The results indicate that the coefficient of friction and specific wear rates are minimized with the addition of filler content to the developed composites and further increasing, the response of composites may be varied.

[Retracted] Multiobjective Optimization of Mechanical Properties on Sisal‐Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Hybrid Composites Using Response Surface Methodology and LINGO Analysis

“…In experimental research work, the sisal and glass fiber were taken as reinforcement materials in the form of short and mate woven type fibers, respectively, to increase the mechanical properties of linear and lateral dimensions of the fabricated specimen and to increase the performance of flexural and impact strength. e epoxy resin is used as a matrix to obtain the desired composite specimens which are procured by local dealers [23]. Hence, to improve the bonding strength of the composite, the natural fibers have undergone 5% of NaOH alkali treatment for half an hour; finally, fibers are cleaned by water and dried at an environmental temperature for a couple of days.…”

Tribological properties of carbon-reinforced epoxy composites - A review

“…The result exhibited that the applied load had the largest effect on the wear rate (52.11%) and COF (65.27%) for the composites, respectively. Other study also indicated that most significant variables affecting the wear and friction of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites is load, followed by sliding distance and speed [133]. In the previous work on unfilled UHMWPE and epoxy specimens [109], load was the most significant factor.…”

“…The wear and frictional properties of different polymers covering Al2O3 and PTFE nano powders were studied using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) [109,[124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133]. The highest effect was the load, followed by the speed factor and the material's type factor, respectively.…”

Practical Technology of Toughening Epoxy Resin: Influence of Toughening Agents on Mechanical and Heat Properties

“…The addition of thermogenic liquid crystal [8,9] can also effectively increase the impact strength of epoxy resin. It can also be toughened by core/shell polymer [10,11], grapheme [12][13][14] and nano particle filler [15][16][17].…”
