Abstract
Objective: In this present work, the SiO2 nanoparticles as filler materials and ABS as a matrix material taken for the injection molding process to prepare the specimens, after that, to study the enhancement of mechanical properties and wear performance of composite materials. Method/Findings: SiO2 nano particles are added to Acrylonitrile Butadiene styrene(ABS) polymer composites at various weight fractions. It is also found that tensile strength, hardness, and wear properties improved in reinforcement. A pin-on-disc type friction and wear monitor (ASTM G99) was employed to evaluate wear behavior of ABS/SiO2 polymer composites. In this experimental study, the input process parameters such as load, sliding distance, and speed are considered and optimized for the composite materials’ properties. Tensile tests and wear tests were conducted to examine, and the properties of the material were studied. Morphology of the fractured material was studied using SEM analysis. The wear debris observed to explore the flacks and groves of the content during wear test for this study Orthogonal array (L9) and control parameters. Applications/Improvements : The significant contributions of this work are the decrease of ultimate strength with increasing content of SiO2 in the composites, and the sliding speed conversed to 45.51% of the wear rate variation. Mechanical and wear properties of ABS/SiO2 nanoparticles polymer composites were studied further. Keywords: ABS; SiO2 Nanoparticles; tensile; hardness; wear; SEM
Highlights
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer
The Wear test conduct filled with ABS and nano-sized SiO2 composites for varying filler material have been investigated; Normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance of three levels of each parameter were according to the experimental design by Taguchi
The deformation behavior of ABS has been governed by a considerable dilatational component indicating a modification of volume
Summary
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer. The most important mechanical properties of ABS are impact resistance and toughness. With an increase in the percentage of SBF content, wear strength and surface hardness is enhanced, while the weakness of the interfacial bonding between fiber and composite leads to a decrease in the impact strength [6] . Teflon nanoparticles with Nylon 6 composite increased the tensile strength and reduced the ductility of the material.
