Abstract
Glass fiber reinforced polymer composites find widespread applications these days in hostile environments due to their several advantages like high wear resistance, strength-to-weight ratio, and low cost. The performance of the composites can further be improved by adding particulate fillers to them. To this end, this work Molybdenum disulphide (MOS2) as a filler material in a polymer matrix to assess the wear resistance of polymer composite. The present work includes the study of mechanical properties like tensile, flexure and hardness, sliding wear behaviors, and wear behavior of bi-directional glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites with and without filler. The wear of the composites with 0, 5, and 10% MOS2 filler have been evaluated The mechanical properties of tensile, flexure, and hardness of the composite material has no influence on tensile, flexural and hardness properties of the material and wear loss decreases with increases Molybdenum disulphide filler percentage.
