Abstract
This paper presents the tribological examination of various percentages of montmorillonite nanoclay-filled polyester composites and jute fiber reinforced hybrid composites by the Pin on Disc wear testing method. The wear rate and coefficient of friction were investigated for each composition with the working parameters like applied load (10,20,30[Formula: see text]N), sliding speed (3[Formula: see text]m/s), and sliding distance (1500[Formula: see text]m). The reduction in the wear rate was found on the inclusion of 5[Formula: see text]wt.% clay and 25[Formula: see text]wt.% jute fiber and further addition of fiber changes the trend due to the reduced matrix concentration. The wear mechanism of the worn-out surface samples was studied using scanning electron microscopy.
