The focus of this work was to analyze the effect of weight percentage (wt%) of Polyalthia longigolia seed filler (PLSF) on the wear responses (wear loss and coefficient of friction) of the vinyl ester (VE) matrix composites, using signal‐to‐noise (SN) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods. The Polyalthia longigolia seed filler/vinyl ester (PLSF‐VE) composites were produced by compression molding (CM) technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the PLSF content was homogeneously distributed in the matrix. Pin on disc (POD) wear tester was employed to carry out the experiments. Both SN ratio and ANOVA were performed to determine the process parameters that exhibited lower wear responses. The wear of the composite was minimized by optimizing the four diverse process factors: load, P (N), sliding speed, N (rpm) and filler content (wt%), based on Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array. The process parameters at which minimum wear loss (WL) occurred were identified with 25 wt% sample at 10 N and 300 rpm. Also, the process parameters for minimum coefficient of friction (COF) were observed with 25 wt% sample at 5 N and 700 rpm. From the ANOVA results obtained, it was evident that P mostly influenced the WL and COF of the PLSF‐VE composites during POD wear testing. This kind of lightweight composite can be a suitable alternative for small scales loading conditions, such as brake bad and clutch plates in the automobile industry.

“Biochar” (BC) is the solid residue recovered from the thermal cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-poor atmosphere. Recently, BC has been increasingly explored as a sustainable, inexpensive, and viable alternative to traditional carbonaceous fillers for the development of polymer-based composites. In fact, BC exhibits high thermal stability, high surface area, and electrical conductivity; moreover, its main properties can be properly tuned by controlling the conditions of the production process. Due to its intriguing characteristics, BC is currently in competition with high-performing fillers in the formulation of multi-functional polymer-based composites, inducing both high mechanical and electrical properties. Moreover, BC can be derived from a huge variety of biomass sources, including post-consumer agricultural wastes, hence providing an interesting opportunity toward a “zero waste” circular bioeconomy. This work aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the main achievements obtained by combining BC with several thermoplastic and thermosetting matrices. In particular, the effect of the introduction of BC on the overall performance of different polymer matrices will be critically reviewed, highlighting the influence of differently synthesized BC on the final performance and behavior of the resulting composites. Lastly, a comparative perspective on BC with other carbonaceous fillers will be also provided.

“…Based on the results of the sliding wear test, the authors observed that regardless of the applied sliding speed, the lowest wear rates and COFs were obtained for nanocomposites filled with a maximal 4 wt % of RM. In another study, Richard et al also evaluated the dry sliding wear properties of the nanocomposites made of unsaturated polyester resin and various size nanoparticles of RM (0–2.5 wt %) [ 97 ]. The authors obtained the lowest specific wear rate for nanocomposites reinforced with the highest content (2.5 wt %) of 110 nm-sized RM particles (i.e., particles with the smallest studied size).…”

Waste management is still one of the leading global challenges in the 21st century. From the European Union’s point of view, the Waste Framework Directive obliges businesses and households to recycle at least 55% of their municipal waste by 2025 and to reach 65% in 2035. Hence there is a great need to seek new solutions for the reuse of various waste materials. One of the most widely used wastes is their utilization as fillers or reinforcements in the metal- or polymer-based composites. The reuse of wastes for the production of tribological materials gives not only environmental benefits related to the transformation of waste into raw materials but also may improve the mechanical and tribological properties of such materials. Moreover, the use of waste reduces the production costs resulting from the lower price of filler materials and longer service life of developed products. The purpose of the current review is, therefore, aimed at the evaluation of the reuse of agricultural, industrial and postconsumer wastes as reinforcements in the composites used for tribological applications. The tribological performance (wear rate, coefficient of friction) of both monolithic and hybrid composites reinforced with waste materials was a particular subject of interest in this review.
