Abstract

In engineering applications, experimental data and insight from scientific investigations on wear properties of polyoxymethylene (POM) composites are important for engineers to understand how to design and formulate POM materials with high resistance to wear. In this work, clay and carbon fiber were utilized and incorporated into POM and the mechanical and wear properties, in specific wear rate, were then assessed. The experimental results suggested that the addition of clay increased the tensile modulus and strength. The mechanical and wear properties of POM composites were found to improve with the addition of the carbon fiber. Carbon fiber/clay/POM composite exhibited the lowest specific wear rate and friction coefficient.
