The objective of this work is to study the tribological properties of natural fiber based composites using nanotechnology. The naturally available banana plant fibers were treated with nanoclay particles, and these treated fibers were then reinforced in an epoxy polymer to form composites. The friction and wear properties of nanoclay-treated banana fiber (NC-BF) reinforced composites were compared with untreated banana fiber (UT-BF) reinforced composites. Short NC-BF- and UT-BF-reinforced composites with fiber concentration ranging from 20 wt % to 60 wt % were prepared by the vacuum resin infusion processing method. The result indicates that the NC-BF-reinforced composites have shown improved friction and wear properties. Microscopy examination revealed that NC-BF-reinforced composites were able to form a transfer layer between the wear test specimen wear surface and counter face, resulting in improved wear properties. The nanoclay particles also induce increased hardness and friction to the composites and improve braking properties.

In this paper, phenolic resin-based composite materials were prepared using glass fiber instead of asbestos for the oil driller brake friction materials, and its impact performance and friction and wear properties were investigated, and compared with performance of asbestos containing material. The results showed that the impact strength of glass fiber reinforced material were higher than that of asbestos reinforced material. When the friction speeds were constant, the friction coefficient of asbestos reinforced material changed in the range of 0.308~0.4302, and the glass fiber reinforced material was 0.308~0.425.The glass fiber can replace asbestos as a reinforced material for oil driller brake friction materials.
