Abstract:
In the framework of environment-friendly materials, natural fiber polymer
matrix composites are in demand in the current years. Natural fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites (NFRPCs) involved massive attention
to the industries and academia due to their excellent strength, modulus of
elasticity, and Tribo properties. This article focuses on the application of
natural fiber-reinforced composite materials in many engineering systems
and the effect of different material parameters – like the length of the fiber,
fiber weight fraction, fiber surface treatment, fiber orientation, etc., and
different operating parameters – like load, speed, sliding distance, tempera ture, etc., on the friction and wear behavior of the NFRPCs. The different wear
mechanisms and the principle used in wear test rigs are also presented,
aiming to showcase a scope of composite as Tribo material and highlight
further research directions to accomplish a comprehensive outline on the
tribo behavior of various natural fiber-reinforced composite materials
