Plastics are unavoidable at this times, putting our planet in danger. The Prosopis juliflora (PJ) thorns are collected, processed, and powdered. The mechanical characteristics of these powders are examined when combined with polymer composites. Pores are the main cause of moisture input, hence using powder filler materials reduces the number of pores in the composite, increasing water resistance. The composites are made by altering three parameters: waste plastic content, filler powder composition, and chemical treatment. It was discovered that the integration of thorn powder increased the wear resistance. The composites were tested in accordance with ASTM standards, and the results were optimized. Based on the results, composite specimens were created and tested for validation.

“…The present investigation reveals that the statistical as well as physical significance of the abrasive wear variables and their related interactions (percentage contribution > error) in abrasive wear properties of the fibres are subsequently sheared and later pulled out hybrid nanocomposites. ANOVA results show that fewer interactions are statistically significant but are not physically significant as the corresponding error is greater than the % contribution from the two interactions [34]. This method attributes the fluctuation of variance as well as averages to the absolute values evaluated throughout the experimental runs instead of the parameter's unit value.…”

The present work emphasizes the effect of graphene nanoplatelets (G) filler loading on mechanical and abrasive wear behavior of carbon fibre reinforced epoxy (C/E) composites. Graphene nanoplatelets were mixed with epoxy framework using a temperature-controlled magnetic stirrer and then ultrasonically treated. The parameters considered for the abrasive wear study are the applied load in N (5, 10 and 15), abrading distance in m (75, 150, and 225) and weight percentage of reinforcement (0, 1, and 1.5). The incorporation of 1 wt. % G into C/E composites increases hardness by 14 % and interlaminar laminar strength by 19 % when compared to C/E composites. According to the Taguchi design of tests, a filler loading of 1 wt. % G, an abrading distance of 225 m, and an applied load of 15 N are ideal. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was done to establish the dominant parameter, and the filler loading with abrading distance was shown to be significant. With 36.4 %, the filler loading had the biggest influence on the composite specific wear rate. The combination of filler loading with 1 wt. %, load of 15 N, and abrading distance of 225 m yields the lowest specific wear rate. The involved wear mechanisms during the abrasive wear process have also been explained with scanning electron micrographs.

“…Results showcased the increase in resistance of the composite against wear due to the incorporation of 5 wt% of graphite within the composites. [36] Evaluation of wear behavior in dry sliding condition for the sisal fibers/cashew nut shell liquid composites indicated that the specific wear resistance and CoF were improved. [37] The wear performance of jute fiber composites in dry condition was optimized using the Taguchi technique, and the results rendered minimum wear rate at a sliding distance of 1000 m, velocity of 1 m/s, and a load of 10 N. [38] Experimental studies on waste silk reinforced polyester composites for their tribological and mechanical characteristics were carried out, and from the results, it was understood that optimal wear was obtained for the process parameter combination of 10% reinforcement content, 500 m distance of abrasion, 25 N load, and 0.5 m/s velocity.…”

Recent era witnessed a tremendous growth in utilization of plant fibers to make composite materials, and their industrial applications have multiplied many folds. All these utilizations were kindled by the advantageous features of the plant fibers and their potential to substitute the currently used synthetic fibers in almost all the applications. Current work falls in line with the abovementioned statements, and Calotropis gigantea fibers (CGFs) are reinforced with epoxy matrix to fabricate composite materials. The fiber surfaces were modified with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) solutions. The CGFs reinforced composites with epoxy matrix were fabricated with the aid of compression molding technique and the samples were subjected to wear tests. The effect of fiber surface modification over the tribological characteristics of these composites such as frictional force, coefficient of friction, and rate of wear was evaluated by varying the time of wear from 40 to 1040 s at an interval of 40 s. From the results, it is found that the weight loss varies between 0.0013 and 0.0018g. Scanning electron microscopy studies are also carried out to observe the surfaces of the samples before and after wear tests. Experimental results portrayed that NaOH treated CGF composites rendered better tribological behavior when compared with untreated and KMnO 4 treated CGF composites.
