Tribological properties of filler and green filler reinforced polymer composites

Wear is the mechanism in which the material based on the application of the mechanical load and its direction. This property may visible on the metals predominantly, but however polymers are organic matters, they also influenced by this wear. Polymer structure acts as a barrier to preserve the polymer materials in the time of wear action. Such as molecular architecture, cross-linking, molecular orientation, and degree of crystallinity. This paper discussed about the basic functions and types of wear. Additionally, it will produce the information about the tribological behaviour of particulate green fillers, and hybrid composite. The tribological studies was more concentrated on the area of metal and metal reinforced composites. However, in several applications such as engineering structures, bio medical applications and in automobile applications polymers replacing the use of the conventional metals. In such cause the polymer material may undergo wear loss. So, it become vital to investigate their tribological performances at various conditions. It is well known that polymers are vulnerable to wear. This article shows the positivity and reality of mechanism of wear in the polymer materials and its functions. Progressive wear damage and their application for specific range of morphological applications. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

This paper discusses the mechanism, properties, and influencing factors of wear, focusing on the tribological performance of polymer materials, as well as the tribological behavior of particulate green fillers and hybrid composites. Polymers are widely used as alternatives to traditional metals in engineering, medical, and automotive applications, making the study of their tribological performance important.
