“…[2][3][4][5] The reported setbacks of natural raw fibers, such as poor adhesion on polymer matrix and high-water absorption behaviors, were overwhelmed through various fiber surface chemical treatments. 6,7 The most used fiber surface chemical treatments are acetylation, alkalization, benzoylation, and silane. The alkali treatment is more economical and effective in improving natural fibers' limitations.…”

This research paper aims to present the combined effect of fiber surface chemical treatments and Montmorillonite nanoclay addition on the mechanical and tribological properties of Palmyra fruit fiber reinforced polyester composites. The polyester composite specimens are made of untreated and chemically surface treated Palmyra fruit fiber as primary reinforcement and Montmorillonite nanoclay as secondary reinforcement. The mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact behaviors and tribological properties such as specific wear rate and coefficient of friction are evaluated. The results are compared with specimens made without Montmorillonite nanoclay. The worn surface morphologies of the wear-tested samples are analyzed through scanning electron microscopic images to study the various wear mechanisms that persisted.

The implementation of the circular economy concept in industries demands experimental and innovative investigations. The set of strategies and paradigms that express the theoretical base of the circular economy plays a vital role in the enhancement of the quality and performance of polymer and composite materials. In this article, tungsten carbide material is advanced for tribological investigations. The scanning electron microscope and an optical and mechanical profilometer were used for the analysis of cotton polymer and tungsten carbide ball surfaces. A newly developed tribometry technique was introduced to investigate the coefficient of friction, wear, and deformation. The cotton surface was found damaged and rough. The tungsten carbide balls showed low roughness and higher hardness. The average surface roughness parameters Ra, Rz, and Rp of tungsten carbide balls were 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20, respectively. The average friction constant values were found to be 0.12–0.15 in the perpendicular direction and 0.11–0.17 in the parallel direction. Reciprocation distance increment has been used for industrial optimization. The coefficient of friction remained constant and slightly deformed cotton polymer. Based on the friction values, deformation, wear, and morphology evaluations, tungsten carbide ceramic materials could be used operationally for surface alterations of industrial machinery parts. The results could also enhance the quality and performance of polymer and composite products.

Plant fiber is one of the sorts of environmentally friendly resources that have been replenished over several years by nature and human invention. For the past few years, application of plant fibers as reinforcements into polymer matrixes has gained considerable interest due to their biodegradable nature. Introducing just one type of reinforcing element does not result in composites with remarkable physical and tribo-mechanical characteristics. Lately, significant research and innovation have been observed on hybrid plant fiber–based biocomposites (HPFBCs) in structural and automotive industries. One of the crucial topics that must be reviewed is the tribo-mechanical performances of these composites. Hence, the present review article aims to provide the friction and wear behaviors and mechanical properties of different HPFBCs under different operational conditions. Based on the understanding of tribo-mechanical aspects of HPFBCs, some prospects have also been suggested that need to be addressed and resolved in the future. This review article is anticipated to provide readers and researchers with valuable insights into the significance of tribo-mechanical performances in the assessment of HPFBCs for specific applications.
