Abstract
Research on composite materials has got much attention for the development of social and economic growth. The Polymer composite is a material which is highly advantageous in the area of construction, packaging and automotive application due to its high strength to the weight ratio, self-lubrication properties, improved fatigue resistance, higher resistance to thermal expansion, wear, and corrosion resistance. Tribo-performance of polymer composite indicates the behaviour of friction and wear of polymer composite which is basically decided by amount and types of polymer matrix and reinforcement. In the past decade, a large number of studies have been carried out the feasibility of the application of polymer composite in tribological applications. However, a very few study has been conducted on the tribological performance of composite material in an automotive application. Here attempts have been to provide a review on tribological performance of polymer and its composites which deals with the application of polymer composite in automotive application and recent developments of polymer composite in tribo-performance. It also deals with the effects of different process and material parameters on tribological properties of the polymer composite.
