Abstract
Using fishbone powder as a new biomass in processing nano-filled composites to evaluate the feasibility of using and developing a novel composite material for engineering application. In the present study, tribological behaviour of waste fishbone powder is reinforced with carbon/jute fabric hybrid in polyester matrix. The waste fishbone powder was used as nanofiller reinforced with polyester matrix in weight percentage of 5%. Dry sliding wear and friction tests were conducted on pin-on-disc apparatus with varying parameter, i.e., applied load and sliding distance with a sliding velocity of 2 m/s, evaluated in the form of wear loss and coefficient of friction (COF). It was found that the wear loss and friction of carbon/jute polyester-reinforced hybrid composites increased with fishbone as a filler, it was found that the cumulative weight loss of unfilled hybrid composite is 20% less than nano-filled fishbone hybrid composite. UFP300 (70% polyester and 30% carbon fiber) sample shows the minimum wear loss and coefficient of friction among all the samples. The wear behavior of fabricated samples was explained and evaluated through SEM study in terms of the analysis of transfer film and its interfacial adhesion of transfer with the counterface surface of the disc.
