“…As observed in Table 7, voids in VE/GF were only 3.61% and in the specimens with (2-5 wt.%) C-15A, it increased from 6.79% to 14.59%. Increase in viscosity of the resin system at higher levels of clay loading results in heterogeneity [44] and void formation due to the entrapment of air bubbles during specimen preparation [45].…”

“…The tests were conducted with sliding velocity (1.57, 2.62, 3.67 m/sec. ), normal load (20,40, 60 N), filler content (0, 10, 20 %) for the sliding distance of 1000, 3000 and 5000 m. Sliding wear data reported here is the average of two runs. The initial weight before run and final weight after run is measured using a precision electronic balance with an accuracy of ± 0.01 mg.…”

The imp roved performance of poly mers and their co mposites in industries and many other applications by the addition of part iculate fillers has shown great advantages and so has lately been the subject of considerable interest. In this paper, mechanical and tribological behavior of particu late fillers CaCO 3 and CaSO 4 filled v inyl ester co mposites have been presented. Wear tests were carried out in dry sliding conditions on a pin-on-disc friction and wear test rig. (DUCOM) at roo m temperature under slid ing velocity (1.57, 2.62 and 3.67 m/sec.), normal load (20, 40 and 60 N), filler content (0, 10 and 20 wt.%) and sliding d istance (1000, 3000 and 5000 m). The plans of experiments is based on the Taguchi technique, was performed to acquire data in a controlled way. An orthogonal array and analysis of variance (A NOVA ) were applied to investigate the influence of process parameters on the coefficient of friction and sliding wear behaviour of these composites. The coefficient of frict ion and specific wear rate were significantly influenced with increase in both the filler content. The results show that for pure vinyl ester the coefficient of frict ion and specific wear rate increases with the increase of normal load, sliding velocity and sliding d istance. The coefficient of friction and specific wear rate for CaCO 3 filler decreases with the increase of filler content. But, for filler CaSO 4 the coefficient of frict ion and specific wear rate decreases at 10 wt.% and then increases at 20 wt.%. It is believed that a thin film formed on stainless steel counterface was seems to be effective in improving the tribolog ical characteristics. The worn surfaces examined through SEM to elucidate the mechanis m of friction and wear behaviour.

“…Ceramic filled polymer composites have also been the subject of extensive research in recent years and consequently, a number of reports are available on the use of ceramics such as Al 2 O 3 , SiC etc. as particulate fillers [12][13][14][15]. But the potential of titanium oxide as a filler material in polyester matrix has not been reported so far.…”

The improved performance of polymers and their composites in industrial and structural applications by the addition of particulate fillers has shown a great promise and so has lately been the subject of considerable interest. In the present study, titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) particles of average size 75 μm are reinforced in unsaturated polyester resin to prepare particulate filled composites of three different compositions (with 0, 10, and 20 wt% of TiO 2 ). Dry sliding wear trials are conducted following design of experiments (DOE) using a standard pin-on-disc test set-up. Significant control factors predominantly influencing the wear rate are identified. Effect of TiO 2 content on the wear rate of polyester composites under different test conditions is studied. An Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) approach taking into account training and test procedure to predict the dependence of wear behavior on various control factors is implemented. This technique helps in saving time and resources for large number of experimental trials and predicts the wear response of TiO 2 -polyester composites beyond the experimental domain.
