This paper reviews some of the recent progress which has been made in the area of the
sliding wear of polymers. Wear mechanisms are classified under three broad approaches …

The application spectrum of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites is growing rapidly in
various engineering fields. The present study explores the possibilities of reinforcing …

The purpose of this chapter is to rationalize and highlight some important established
phenomena in polymer tribology. Explanations are presented, where appropriate, on the …

In this paper, studies have been conducted to investigate the abrasive wear behaviour of
jute fibre-reinforced polypropylene composites. Effect of addition of maleic anhydride-grafted …

The aim of the study was to develop a design methodology for the UltraHigh Molecular
Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)-based composites used in friction units. To achieve this …

Dry-sliding and lubricated friction and wear behaviours of polyamide (PA) and ultra-high
molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) blend were studied using a pin-on-disc method …

It is believed that the structure and properties of parts fabricated by additive (ie, non-
stationary) manufacturing are slightly worse compared to hot pressing. To further proceed …

Based on previous work, 70 vol% PA66/30 vol% PPS blend was selected as a matrix, and
the PA66/PPS blend reinforced with different content of glass fiber (GF) was prepared in this …

The present article depicts the specific wear rate of jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites
with different weight percentage of fiber loading (10, 20, 30, 40 wt.%) and different chemical …

The effects of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), graphite, ultrahigh molecular weight
polyethylene (UHMWPE), and their compounds on mechanical and tribological properties of …
