reduction in the frictional coefficient and wear rate of the composites especially
at elevated temperatures. For room temperature the same results were obtained
for PEI like epoxy. Whereas the PEEK composite showed no significant change in
tribological parameter. The lowest wear rates are shown in table 1 for the both
composites. Some of notable observations are made from this compilation of
data. First, the optimum concentrations of nanometre sized filler particles is 4

and protects the worn surface of the composites from more severe wear
mechanisms.
In Further investigation on effect TiO2 on various composites, Y. Shi et al.[9]
compared tribological behaviour of PI/PTFE composite, filled with variable vol% of
micrometer and nanometre TiO2.results of examination of composite samples on
ring on ring tribometer, revealed that the addition of micrometer TiO2 increases
both wear rate and frictional coefficient, while the filling 1 and 1.5vol% of
nanometre TiO2 decreases frictional coefficient and wear rate respectively.
Further addition of nanometre TiO2 results in increase in both frictional
coefficient and wear rate. Decrease in tribological properties was due to the fact
that TiO2 act as load bearing element thus results in decreased plastic
deformation. The agglomeration of nanometre TiO2 after certain proportion could
be the reason for increase in tribological properties. The figure number 3 and 4
shows the change in frictional coefficient and wear rate respectively with
addition of micro and nano meter TiO2.

particle of 40nm varies between from 0 to 20 wt.%. The constituent powders first
were blended using a jet milling apparatus and then compression moulded. The
wear and friction tests showed that the friction coefficient of the composite
increased. At filler concentrations of 20 wt.%, the wear resistance improved
greatly. The wear resistance of composite increase with increasing filler
concentration.
H. Cai et al.[22] have filled Polyimide (PI) nano composites with different
proportions of nano particle Al2O3.Results revealed that the PI/al2o3 nano
composites with some optimum proportions of nano Al2O3 showed lower friction
coefficient and wear loss as compared to PI under the same testing conditions.

G. Shi et al. [24] had investigated the sliding wear performance of epoxy
composites filled with nano-sized Al2O3 particles. Interfacial adhesion between
the fillers and the matrix polymer, the nano particles were enhanced by either
using silane coupling agent or by graft polymerization. The results showed that
the graft polymerized composite shows better wear and frictional behaviour than

Song,Hao-Jie,Zhao-Zhu Zhang, and Xue-Hu Men .[33] investigated the tribological
behaviour of polyurethane coating filled with nano-SiO2 using a pin on disk
apparatus under different lubricating condition. The results showed the wear life
of the SiO2 filled PU coating under water lubrication is the lowest and under
liquid paraffin lubrication is the highest.
Review of nano SiC filled composites
Q.-H. Wang et al.[34] investigated the friction and wear properties of
polyetheretherketone (PEEK) filled with different proportion nanometre SiC. From
results it was found that optimum proportion of nanometre Sic is less than 10wt
%. Xue, Q. J., & Wang, Q. H. et al.[35] found the same results, that optimum
amount for highest wear resistant is less than 10wt%.
Q.-H. Wang et al. [36] again investigated
nanometer SiC
and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).It was found from result that the filling of
nanometre SiC together with PTFE reduces the wear resistant capacity of SiC
and PTFE.
H.-J. Song, Z.-Z. Zhang [37] have investigated the friction and wear behaviour of
polyfluo wax (PFW)/polyurethane (PU) composite coating filled with nano-SiC or
nano-ZrO2.results revealed that the filling of 5wt%of SiC gives the minimum
coefficient of friction.
Q.L. Ji et al. [38] compared the tribological properties epoxy filled with
unmodified SiC nano particle and
SiC. Results obtained from pin on disk apparatus revealed that the grafted
nanometre SiC gives better wear resistance than unmodified nanometre Sic. This
synergic effect is due to enhancement of interfacial adhesion between epoxy
matrix and nano particle of Sic.
PEEK
weight proportion of
on
block on ring apparatus showed that wear rate and frictional coefficient both
decreases with deceases size of nano particle. It can be seen from figure 13, that
10nm particle size has maximum wear resistance. The wear rate and frictional
coefficient both are lowest when composite filled with less than 8wt% of
nanometre ZrO2.The SEM analysis showed the formation of a strong, tenacious
transfer film on counterpart. The variation of friction coefficient and wear rate
with different weight percentage of nanometre ZrO2 is shown in figure 14.

friction test performed on pin on disk apparatus for different composite samples
under dry sliding condition. It was found from results that the combination of
PPS + 15%Kevlar + 2%CuO had minimum wear rate.
Review of MoS2 filled composites
J. Wang et al. [45] had filled Nylon 1010 with micro MoS2 and short carbon fiber
as the reinforcement. The friction and wear properties of composite materials
was investigated on a ring-block wear tribometer . The results indicated the
reduction in friction and wear of pure nylon due to addition of carbon fiber,but
MoS2 filler increased its wear rate. More Significant reduction in Wear and friction
were observed when the carbon fiber was used as reinforcement along with
MoS2 filler.
X. Li et al. [46] had investigated the wear and friction behaviour of
epoxy/MoS2/graphite composite on a ringblock wear tester under air-lubricated
condition. The results showed that the graphite in epoxy composite can reduce
both the friction coefficient and wear of the epoxy composite significantly.MoS2
in epoxy composite is translated to MoO3 during the wear tests, which restrained
the epoxy transfer from the surface of composite to the surface of steel
counterpart. Consequently, increases the wear rate. H.-J. Zhang et al.[48] has
also found that filling of MoS2 has adverse effect on wear resistance.
V. Pettarin et al. [47] had prepared the high molecular weight high density
Polyethylene composite samples filled with micro MoS2.the tribological tests
performed on sliding wear tester and abrasive wear test
wear rate was registered to be around 10 wt.% content of MoS2 . It was also
found that the solid lubricant increases wear resistance under both sliding and
abrasive wear conditions.
Yamada, Y., T. Kurobe, and Y. Toyooka.[49] had performed XPS study of transfer
films of MoS2 filled nylon-46 composites sliding against steel counter face. From
results it has been concluded that the oxidation of MoS2 filler increases with
increasing filler size, especially when sliding against a smooth steel counter face.
The MoS2 filler content on the surface of the transfer film is much lower than
that of the surface of the bulk composite.

of

/CNTS
composites.The result showed that the addition of carbon multi walled nano tube
fabricated by thermal CVD results in significant decrease in the wear loss up to
0.5wt% and slight increase in friction coefficient. morphology of surface is
observed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM),shows that, Elevation of
frictional coefficient and the reduction of wear loss were not due to structural
changes but mainly due to increasing the shear strength of the softer UHMWPE.
Xue, Yang, et al.[52] had examined wear and creep behaviour of ultra-high
molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE)
filled with multi-wall carbon nano tubes varied between 0.2 and 2 wt% .also The
wear resistance behaviour of boiling nitric acid of a treated CNTs was studied.
The results showed that the filling of multi-wall carbon nano tubes either had no
effect or negative effect on creep resistance and wear of UHMWPE.

Zhang, L et al. [55] had examined the wear characteristics of carbon nano tube
filled epoxy composite. Wear tests of the CNTepoxy composites were carried out
on a pin-on-disc machine. The results showed that the surface coverage
area(Rc/m) has significant effect on wear rate of composite. It has been observed
that the high Rc/m, increased wear and friction resistance. The reduction in wear
and friction is due the CNTs exposed to the sliding interface.
