Tribological characteristics of natural fiber composite - Review

Abstract

The continuous research into green environment for engineering based applications the present work tasks to dedicate a gathering of improvements in the research of tribological behaviour of natural fibre reinforced polymeric composites. Information on natural fibres, composites and the wear characteristics such as specific wear rate and co efficient of friction were presented with respect to change of fiber weight or volume fraction, addition of nano fillers and fiber treatments. Various operating parameters and wear mechanism for various types of composites and their performance will be discussed.
