Tribological and Thermo-Mechanical Performance of Chemically Modified Musa Acuminata / Corchorus Capsularis Reinforced Hybrid Composites

This paper explores the tribological efficiency of Musa acuminata (B – Banana)/Corchorus capsularis (J – Jute) fibers reinforced epoxy-based tribo-composites which was fabricated by varying the content of these fibers (MC1 – 15 wt.% of Banana and 15 wt.% of Jute, MC2 – 20 wt.% of Banana and 20 wt.%...

description This paper explores the tribological efficiency of Musa acuminata (B – Banana)/Corchorus capsularis (J – Jute) fibers reinforced epoxy-based tribo-composites which was fabricated by varying the content of these fibers (MC1 – 15 wt.% of Banana and 15 wt.% of Jute, MC2 – 20 wt.% of Banana and 20 wt.% of Jute and MC3 – 25 wt.% of Banana and 25 wt.% of Jute) by means of the compression molding method. The pin-on-disk dry wear check was carried out by varying the load conditions (20, 40 and 60 N) and sliding distance (602.88, 1205.76 and 1808.64 m). The experimental outcomes disclosed that the hybrid composites have superior properties than the single fiber-reinforced composites. Moreover, the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the damaged surfaces of the samples.
