“…Notably, the scratches at 100N applied load in Figure 5(b) are more prominent compared to those at 80N applied load in Figure 5(a), which can be attributed to the higher contact pressure and increased severity of the sliding conditions. The elevated applied load results in a greater force acting on the composite surface, leading to intensified contact stress and more significant material removal [38]. Consequently, deeper and more distinct scratches are observed on the composite surface.…”

This study investigates the tribological behaviour of Furcraea Foetida fibre-reinforced epoxy composites under varying applied loads. The aim is to understand the influence of applied load on the frictional behaviour and wear characteristics of the composites. The study employs a pin-on-disk test to examine the frictional force, coefficient of friction (COF), and specific wear rate (SWR) of identical samples subjected to four different loads (80 N, 100 N, 120 N, 140 N). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to analyse the surface morphology under different loads. The frictional force versus sliding distance graph demonstrates an increasing trend from 80 N to 120 N, followed by minimal change at 140 N. Similarly, the COF versus applied load graph shows a progressive increase from 80 N to 120 N, with the least increase observed at 140 N. The SWR versus applied load graph indicates an increasing trend from 80 N to 120 N, with marginal variation at 140 N. SEM analysis reveals that only the sample subjected to 140 N shows evidence of plastic deformation. In conclusion, the results indicate that the applied load significantly influences the frictional behaviour and wear characteristics of the Furcraea Foetida fibre-reinforced epoxy composites. At higher loads, the increase in frictional force, COF, and SWR becomes less pronounced, suggesting potential saturation in the composites' response. The presence of plastic deformation at 140 N further highlights the unique behaviour observed at this load. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the tribological performance of the composites and have implications for their practical applications.

“…Modification of polymer resins by filler blending has become a common method to improve the tribological properties of fabric composites [22][23][24]. Expect nanoparticles, such as Si 3 N 4 , CaCO 3 , TiO 2 , CuO, Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, and SiC, to be filled into the PF matrix in order to improve the tribological and mechanical performance of PF composites.…”

In this study, cotton fabric-reinforced phenolic resin (CPF) composites were modified by adding four two-dimensional fillers: graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), graphite (Gr), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). The tribological properties of these modified materials were investigated under dry friction and water lubrication conditions. The CPF/Gr composite exhibits significantly better tribological performance than the other three filler-modified CPF composites under dry friction, with a 24% reduction in friction coefficient and a 78% reduction in wear rate compared to the unmodified CPF composite. Under water lubrication conditions, all four fillers did not significantly alter the friction coefficient of the CPF composites. However, except for an excessive amount of Gr, the other three fillers can reduce the wear rate. Particularly in the case of 10% MoS2 content, the wear rate decreased by 56%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed for the analysis of the morphology and composition of the transfer films. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to investigate the adsorption effects of CPF/Gr and CPF/MoS2 composites on the counterpart surface under both dry friction and water lubrication conditions. The difference in the adsorption capacity of CPF/Gr and CPF/MoS2 composites on the counterpart, as well as the resulting formation of transfer films, accounts for the variation in tribological behavior between CPF/Gr and CPF/MoS2 composites. By combining the lubrication properties of MoS2 and Gr under dry friction and water lubrication conditions and using them as co-fillers, we can achieve a synergistic lubrication effect.

“…engineering requirements and thus the extensive applications of EP are greatly restricted. 4,5 To overcome these issues, great efforts have been made to prepare epoxy composites reinforced with various fillers, including bamboo fiber, 5 basalt fiber, 6 and graphene 7 for advanced mechanical properties, and graphene, 7 MoS 2 , 8 oilcontaining activated carbon particles, 9 and oil-containing microcapsules 10 for advanced tribological property. However, significant challenges still remain to simultaneously improve the tribological and mechanical properties of EP.…”

Epoxy composites with simultaneously enhanced tribological and mechanical properties filled with basalt belt/reduced graphene oxide/paraffin wax (EP/BF/RGO/PW) have been successfully prepared. Experimental results indicated that the mechanical property of the composites was reinforced by basalt belt, and the tribological property was greatly improved by reduced graphene oxide/paraffin wax at the same time. Thanks to the synergy of PW and RGO sheets, the optimized coefficient of friction and wear rate of the composite declined by 77.5% and 14.4% than pure EP under dry friction conditions of 60 N and 0.42 m s−1. In comparison to pure EP, the tensile strength and modulus of the optimized composite increased by 75.5% and 100% on account of the robust basalt fibers. Thus, the combination of basalt fiber and reduced graphene oxide/paraffin wax can readily realize the introduction of enhancer and oil‐impregnation in EP, offering a promising approach for simultaneously improving the mechanical and tribological properties of epoxy.Highlights A novel BF/RGO/PW 3D skeleton was developed via a facile hydrothermal method. The BF/RGO/PW can enhance the mechanical and tribological properties of EP. The basalt fibers account for the improvement in mechanical property. A reduction of 77.5% in COF and a decrease of 14.4% in wear rate were realized.
