Natural fibers based composites having good mechanical properties have attracted
tribologists to explore their application range from friction materials to friction modifiers …

Fibre-reinforced thermosets and thermoplastics containing PTFE are commonly used in
marine and hydropower applications due to their self-lubricating ability in both dry and water …

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a process for producing three dimensional products by
layer by layer deposition directly from a digital file, becoming, more exciting among …

Multi-layered laminates of bi-directionally woven E-glass fabric/epoxy with different loading
of graphite particles were made by hand layup followed by compression molding. Tensile …

In this work, the characteristics of graphite/epoxy composites are estimated from a
tribological perspective. Various weight percentages (0− 7%) of graphite were used for …

Polymers and their composites are emerging as viable alternative products to metal-based
and alloy-based ones in many common and advanced engineering applications. The …

The study investigates the effects of the roughness of the metal counterface (mirror finished
or polished) on the coefficient of dry friction for some of the most common engineering …

Jatropha seed cake particulate (JSCP)-reinforced epoxy composites were prepared by open
mold resin casting method. The influence of JSCP on mechanical and dry sliding wear …

This paper presents a PTFE/serpentine solid lubricant composite that exhibits low friction
coefficient and low wear rate. It is postulated that synergistic effect alters the dominant wear …

Recently, directionally oriented warp knit structures have gained prominence as
reinforcements in composite materials due to their superior isotropic behaviour compared to …
