Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study explores the possibilities of reinforcing High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) + Nano-Clay (NC) composite with locally available inexpensive plane woven bi-directional Silk Fibre (SF) fabric for developing a new tribo material. HDPE, NC & SF were incorporated into produce hybrid laminated composites using a hot compression technique. Further, the additions of NC to bi-directional SF-based HDPE composites at five levels in the range 0.1–1.0 wt-% have improved the tribological characteristics greatly compared to HDPE + SF samples as well as pure HDPE. The experimental results indicate that SF and NC improved the wear behaviour of neat polymer. The CoF of HDPE + SF + 0.1NC over HDPE + SF & pure HDPE decreased by 15% and 30%, respectively. The results reveal that the wear loss of HDPE + SF + 0.1NC is very much lower over HDPE + SF & pure HDPE and they are about 24% and 30%, respectively. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
