Abstract

The adoption of light weight and high performance polymer matrix composites are needed for industries related to aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, etc. Polymer fiber reinforced composite material have very good desirable mechanical and thermal properties like low density, higher specific stiffness with high specific strength and a controlled co-efficient of thermal expansion with dimensional stability. The addition of carbon nanoparticle in these composites improved mechanical as well as wear properties of the material, which leads to more applications of these composites in various fields. In the present investigation carbon nanotube addition along with the glass fiber reinforced composite material was used as work material. The sliding wear tests were carried out on pin on disc wear tester. The tribological performance was studied by varying the applied load. The wear surfaces were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy which are presented in detail.
