“…Sudeepan et al [33] studied the effect of varying micro-size zinc oxide (Zno) contents in a matrix of ABS polymer on the mechanical and tribological properties. It was concluded that tensile and flexural modulus and hardness generally increase with increasing filler content, whereas tensile and flexural strength increased up to 15 wt %, before decreasing again.…”

Polymer matrix composites (PMC) have a competitive and dominant role in a lot of industries, like aerospace and automobiles. Short basalt fiber (SBF) is used to strengthen acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymers as a composite. The composite material is fabricated using injection molding with a new technique to obtain a uniform distribution for the ABS matrix at an elevated temperature range from 140 • C to 240 • C. Four types of specimen were produced according to the mechanically mixed amounts of SBF, which were (5, 10, 15, 20) wt %. The produced material was tested for tension, hardness and impact to measure the enhancement of the mechanical properties of the ABS only and the ABS reinforced by SBF composite. Wear tests were carried out using a pin on disc at a velocity of 57.5 m/s at three normal loads of 5, 10 and 15 kN. Tensile strength increased with up to 5 wt % of SBF, then decreased with an increasing amount of SBF reinforcement, while surface hardness increased with increasing SBF. The impact strength was found to degrade with the whole increment of SBF. Wear resistance increased with the increasing SBF reinforcement amount at all applied normal loads.

“…The experiments in this study were conducted according to the L16 orthogonal array, which is obtained by applying the mixed level design of the Taguchi method. The selection of the orthogonal array is based on the condition that the degrees of freedom of the orthogonal array should be greater than or equal to the sum of degrees of freedom of factors and their interactions [31]. The orthogonal array is formed with Minitab 16 statistical package.…”

The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of the addition of a small amount of SiC nanoparticles on the mechanical characteristics and wear resistance of ZA-27 alloy. The ZA-27 alloy-based nanocomposites were produced by a relatively cheap compocasting process preceded by mechanical alloying. Reinforcing elements were the silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles with an average size lower than 50 nm and in very small amounts of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 wt. %. Wear tests were realized on a block-on-disc tribometer under lubricated sliding conditions, at two sliding speeds (0.25 and 1 m/s), two normal loads (40 and 100 N) and a sliding distance of 1000 m. Optimisation of the SiC amount was performed by applying the Taguchi method, showing that the SiC amount of 0.5 wt. % is optimal for the given testing conditions. Prediction of the results and wear maps were also conducted. The analysis of variance showed that the SiC amount has the greatest influence on wear rate (70.8 %), followed by the normal load (19.8 %), and the sliding speed (3.9 %), while the influences of all interactions between these factors did not have any significant influence.

“…Confirmatory tests proved that Taguchi technique is the best method for predicting the tribological behaviour of polymeric composites. 103 Response surface methodology (RSM) is another effective technique for designing and analysing the data. RSM reduces the number of trial experiments to be conducted and thus decreases the cost and time in an effective manner.…”

The dominance of fibre-reinforced plastics in industries has enhanced the need for research to develop new composites and assess their properties. Among the various property analyses, tribological characteristics of the composites help to understand the friction and wear behaviour. This article presents a comprehensive survey on the tribological behaviour of polymeric composites, which includes the influence of various working parameters such as the velocity of sliding, sliding distance, pressure applied and temperature on the friction and wear. The article also addresses about the importance of the composite constituents such as fibre composition, fibre geometry and fibre orientation on the tribological behaviour. The major reasons causing the tribological failure like the debonding between the fibre and the matrix, failure of the matrix and the fibre are also extensively addressed. This review would be an insight to the industries and tribology researchers towards achieving optimum design for the components made of polymers.
