Assessment shows improved wear characteristics in glass/sisal fibre composites with nano-SiC, indicating significant benefits.

The GF/SF/2% nano-SiC composite exhibited a lower coefficient of friction of 0.394 at 30N axial load.
Wear resistance was improved by 2.3 times over composites without nanofillers at the same load and sliding velocity.
Uniform dispersion of nano-SiC contributed to superior bonding and wear properties in the composites.
Testing used a pin-on-disc tribometer to evaluate coefficients of friction and wear rates across various conditions.

Perumal et al. (2025) studied this question.
