Abstract
Nowadays, polymeric composites have emerged as a material highly in demand for advanced structures in various sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, and marine industries, due to their specific mechanical and physical properties. Functional efficiency of these composites significantly depends on their machinability. This encouraged the researchers to present a wide study and research work on polymeric composite. The present paper reviews the research progress on conventional machining of different filler-loaded polymeric composites. It delves into integrated functions in terms of its mechanism and machining responses. This includes aspects such as various weight percentage of filler on the machining responses. It also shows the proper filler loading for the improvement of mechanical properties (i.e., strength and stiffness) and fracture toughness for both intralaminar and interlaminar perspectives. Machining procedure and performance capabilities have been reviewed and depicted in detail as well. A comprehensive summary of the findings along with future perspectives has been included at the end, which might contribute to a greater development of this machining process in the future.
