Abstract

This article primarily investigates the tribological behavior of the hybrid nanocomposite subjected to wear analysis. The hybrid nanocomposite laminates were prepared using woven roven glass reinforced in epoxy resin matrix, in which the nano Cerium(IV)-Zirconium(IV)Oxide was used as filling material. The influence of the nano particle content was studied by varying the weight percentage of nanoparticle (0.5, 1, and 1.5 wt%). The mechanical stirring was employed for better dispersion of nanoparticle in the matrix. These laminate was performed with wear analysis by using pin-on-disc arrangement, with specific load, velocity and sliding distance value. It is visible that the wear was minimized on the addition of the nanoparticle. When fibious quantity of nano particle (1 wt%) included, the specific wear rate was minimized upto 65%. The homogenously dispersed nano Cerium(IV)-Zirconium(IV)Oxide reduced the wear abrasives. The high resolution HRSEM and microscopic images were used to examine the morphology of the hybrid nanocomposite.
