This article highlights the importance of the addition of Mollusc shell (MS) particles, as bio-filler, on the tribological behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. The elaborated biocomposites are intended to be used as an orthopedic replacement biomaterial. Different mass content of MS (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt. %) have been added to the HDPE matrix. FTIR analysis, crystallinity rate and Rockwell hardness of different bio-composites were performed. A reciprocating pin-on-disc tribometer was used to fulfil dry wear tests. FTIR analysis showed that the presence of MS particles improved the crystallinity of the HDPE phase. Adding to that, it was found that MS improved the hardness, friction coefficient and wear resistance of the HDPE polymer. In fact, by adding 5 wt. % of MS to the HDPE, good tribological properties were achieved. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was performed to investigate the wear morphology of biocomposites under dry condition. SEM images showed that the morphology of the worn surfaces had been improved by the addition of MS to the polymer. Finally, a wear scenario was proposed.
