Abstract

The characteristics of abrasive wear of the rubber matrix composites filled with nano sized silica particleswere investigated atambienttemperature by pin-on-disc friction test. The range ofvolume fraction ofsilicaparticles tested are between 11% to 25%. The cumulative wear volume and friction coefficientof thesematerials on particle volume fraction were determined experimentally. The majorfailure mechanisms werelapping layers, deformation of matrix, ploughing, deboding of particles and microcracking by scanningelectric microscopy photograph of the tested surface. The cumulative wear volume showed atendency toincrease nonlinear with increase of sliding distance. As increasing the silica particles of these compositesindicated higherfriction coefficient. Keywords: Abrasive wear, Friction coefficient, Wear characteristics, Cumulative wear volume, Particlevolume fraction
