“…The natural fibers used in the composite can withstand repeated loading cycles without breaking down, making them ideal for use in products that are subjected to constant wear and tear. 17 Abrasion due to third body occur on PMC components while they are in use which can cause damage to the surface of the composite material. 18 In order to mitigate the effects of three-body abrasion on polymer matrix composites, several measures such as selection of matrix material, use of fillers, surface treatments and design modifications can be adopted.…”

This experimental study investigates the three-body abrasive wear behavior of jute/natural rubber flexible green composite under both dry and lubricated conditions. The composite material is prepared using a layering and compression method. A three-body abrasion tester is used to conduct the wear testing under various loads. The use of a lubricant further enhances the wear resistance of the composite, reducing the wear rate and friction coefficient. Mass loss of Jute/Rubber/Jute, Jute/Rubber/Rubber/Jute and Jute/Rubber/Jute/Rubber/Jute in lubricated wear condition is 44.44%, 15.87% and 29.96% less compared to dry wear condition. Wear mechanisms of the composite material are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealing the presence of fiber breakage, and adhesive wear. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the abrasive wear behavior of jute/natural rubber flexible green composite and its potential applications in various industrial sectors.

“…33 In such sacrificial structural applications, natural fibres could be a viable alternative to synthetic fibres. [34][35][36][37] Due to its higher thermo-mechanical properties, economy and availability, jute appears the most promising natural fibre among the numerous natural fibres accessible. As a result, jute-reinforced composites can be used in various engineering applications.…”

The present study explores the possible usage of the rubber crumb as a filler in jute-reinforced polymer matrix composites for structural applications. The rubber crumb with different weight percentages of 1.5, 3 and 5 was used for manufacturing the hybrid composites using the hand layup method, and their physio-mechanical properties were compared with the unfilled jute epoxy composite. The results revealed that the addition of a rubber crumb helps to overcome the disadvantage of water absorption by natural fibres since the water absorption of the composite filled with 5 wt% of rubber crumb reduced by 2.6 times compared to the unfilled composite. However, the density of the composites was found to increase with the addition of a rubber crumb. The tensile strength and flexural strength of the composite with 3 wt% rubber crumb was found to be better and was found to be increased by 9.38% and 42.37%, respectively, compared to the unfilled composite. The impact strength of the composite with 5 wt% of rubber crumb was the highest, and it was improved by 16.29% compared to the unfilled composite. The MADM approach, namely the VIKOR method, is successfully implemented to select the best configuration of the proposed hybrid composites. The effect of chemical treatment of the fibre on the winning composite from the MADM approach is further evaluated for its thermal conductivity and thermal resistance. This work can be a benchmark for using and converting the waste tyre rubber into the rubber crumb in polymer matrix composites to enhance their mechanical properties. It can also guide the designers in implementing the MADM approach to select appropriate composite selection when there are multiple conflicting criteria.

“…5 Jute has been used by various researchers in the development of composites for different applications such as impact and wears. [6][7][8] Hybrid composites are branched sub-divisions of composites made by combining two different fibers or adding fillers along with a polymer or metal matrix. The former is generally chosen to have a higher strength value than the latter to meet the specific requirements of the chosen application.…”

The present work deals with three body abrasive behavior of Jute-Epoxy-Rubber crumb hybrid composites at different rubber crumb loading (0%, 5% and 10%). Three body abrasive wear tests are performed to determine the specific wear rate for different combination of proposed composites in terms of filler percentage, abrasive distance, and load. Results indicate that addition of rubber crumb as filler in the proposed composite results in enhanced resistance to abrasion. Statistical method, Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array is used to find the most influential factor affecting the abrasive behavior of the proposed composites. The outcome of the statistical approach revealed that the filler is the most influential factor influencing abrasion of the proposed composites. Experimental results are compared with the predicted results and it was found that they agree well with each other. The SEM micrographs studies reveal the dynamics of three body abrasive wear and underlying micro mechanisms that serve as determinant for wear performance of such composites.
