“…The results showed significant wear by applying higher load from 10, 15 N. Higher loads created high pressure in the composites sample while sliding with the steel disc created a higher wear rate. 18 Better bonding with the hybrid fiber/epoxy resin of the 1 cm FL sample showed reduced wear rate ranging from 16.8 to 25.25 Â 10 À5 mm 3 /Nm at 5-15 N load. Lower wear resistance was observed with 0.5 cm FL samples in 15 N load with 31.57 Â 10 À5 mm 3 /Nm.…”

“…Higher SD did not create high pressure in the specimen while in contact with the counter disc, thus it had lesser impact. 18 The FL created a homogenous distribution of fibers along with better compatibility with epoxy matrix enhancing the stress transferring capacity of the polymer samples. 13 This added to the wear resistance of the combination.…”

“…17 Hybrid natural fiber composites with ramie/banana at 30 wt% had better mechanical properties than single fiber composites with the epoxy matrix. 18 Tribological applications using pin on disc measurement were used in various researches. In this measurement applied load, sliding speed (SS) and sliding distance (SD) are the machining parameters used in different works.…”

Wear testing, in this research was conducted for compression molded flax and ramie fibers with epoxy resin matrix. The 40 wt% fiber combination was used for a fiber length (FL) of 0.5–1.5 cm while varying sliding distance (SD) ranged from 500 to 1500 m. Better results were obtained in 1000 m SD and 1 cm FL with a specific wear rate (SWR) of 13.12 × 10−5 mm3/Nm. Samples with 50 wt% natural fiber combinations were tried with different FL (0.5–1.5 cm) and sliding speed (SS) from 0.5 to 1.5 m/s. Sliding speed increased the contact between the sample and the counter steel disc, which caused high wear rate in the specimen. A high SWR was observed for the combination of SS 1.5 m/s, 0.5 cm FL due to high contact and with lower adhesion of fiber/matrix phase than in the others. Higher FL damages the compatibility of matrix/reinforcement phases, which makes the epoxy sample highly brittle with less wear resistance. The combination of 30 wt% natural fiber with FL (0.5–1.5 cm) and load 5–15 N showed high wear rate at a higher load of 15 N (31.57 × 10−5 mm3/Nm). SEM results with 50 wt% NF combination, 0.5 cm FL at 5 N load showed high deformation in the natural fiber structure compared to the 40 wt% NF combination, mainly due to the adhesion of fiber with epoxy resin which acted as a stress transfer area allowing transfer of more loads.

“…And this situation was hardly changed (Figure 6E) until the orientation of carbon fibers was changed to anti parallel (AP‐orientation, Figure 6F). The above difference can be ascribed to the influence of carbon fiber orientation on the retention of wear debris in the sliding interface, 36 among which the AP‐oriented carbon fibers could block the way of wear debris to leave the interface. This, on the one hand, contributed to enhance the formation of transfer films and, on the other hand, helped abate the wear of PEEK matrix.…”

The orientation of fibers in polymer matrix plays a crucial role in governing the performance of composites including friction and wear. In the present work, the effect of fiber orientation on tribological behavior of 3D printed short carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composites (CF/PEEK) was studied by two series of tribo‐tests, namely macro‐scale continuous sliding and micro‐scale multiple scratching. Fiber orientations studied included parallel, tilted and anti‐parallel relative to the sliding direction in both macro sliding and micro scratching. It was revealed that the effect of fiber orientation showed strong dependence on applied loads. In most cases, lower wear were obtained when the fiber orientation was tilted rather than parallel or anti‐parallel in macro continuous sliding. With tilted orientation, the composite also exhibited the best scratching behavior except for that at the lowest normal load. To reveal the mechanisms behind this orientation effects, the composite's worn surface, as well as those of the counter rings, were characterized. Findings of the present work indicates that scratching tests can help understand the macro sliding mechanisms and appropriate fiber orientation is beneficial in improving the tribological properties of polymer composites, which can be realized through 3D printing.Highlights PEEK composites filled with highly oriented carbon fibers were manufactured by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Tribological anisotropy was studied through macro sliding and micro scratching measurements with respect to carbon fiber orientation. The coupling mechanism of load and fiber orientation was discussed in influencing the composites' friction and wear properties.

“…However, the progress of aggregate formation during manufacturing and the loss of moisture tolerance substantially decreases the ability of natural fibers to become reinforced composites (NFRCs). [14][15][16] Moreover, it was observed that the compatibility, interfacial properties of the polymer and fillers, and the characteristics of their contents significantly impact the features and performance of products made from natural fiber composites. These factors increase the potential for producing exciting new materials with entirely new qualities.…”

Composite materials have an ever-increasing demand for their application in numerous applications such as aerospace, automobile, petroleum, etc. These materials vary according to their chemical composition, properties, manufacturing techniques, etc. Natural fiber-reinforced composites are the composites where natural fibers such as plant, animal, and mineral fibers are used as reinforcement material. Reinforcement of these fibers yields composite material with extensive properties such as high strength, durability, reliability, etc. These properties lead them to commercial applications in several areas. Therefore, this paper describes various characteristics of the matrix, reinforcement, and resin used for natural fiber composite materials. Also, multiple parameters that affect the growth of these composites are investigated. The tribological behavior of natural fiber composites is focused mainly on friction, wear, and lubrication. Furthermore, the material's mechanical performance and metallurgical behavior are also given significant importance. These materials’ application in various fields is explored separately, and multiple conclusions are drawn.
