Abstract
Glass-fibre-reinforced poly(vinyl)-butyral-modified phenolic composites with reinforcements of woven roving, plain weave and satin weave glass fabrics were made. The friction and wear characteristics of the composites were studied on a pin-on-disc apparatus against a cast iron counterface under dry-sliding conditions. Experiments show that the geometry of the reinforcing fabric has a significant influence on the friction and wear behaviour of the composites. The wear rate of the plain weave glass fabric composite is lower than that of the woven roving and satin weave composites, while the woven roving composite exhibits greater tensile, flexural, impact and interlaminar shear strengths. The results are discussed on the basis of existing wear models of the composites.
