Abstract
The present environmental concern has motivated researchers to develop bio-polymer based wear materials. In the recent review article focus has been made for proper utilization of natural resources for developing advanced wear resistance material. In order to develop polymer based composite materials with natural fibre and filler, various chemical treatments are focused in the review article. Apart from this the paper also concerned variety of bio-resources products for synthesis of new epoxy grade polymer material. The developed material can be well utilized in various fields such as automobile brake pad, griping material, building construction, heavy machinery, surface modification and improvement. The review work focused on various parameters that are associated with wear behaviour. i. A brief discussion about natural fibres, polymers, their applications and basics of tribology. ii. Effect of the natural filler/fibre weight percentage, orientation of fibre, fibre length, chemical treatment, fibre physical and mechanical properties and are studied. iii. Wear parameters such as amount applied load, sliding velocity, sliding distance, loading time duration, dry and wet condition are focused. The proper utilization of the each and every unutilized part of the bio-products are studied. The various section of the plant i.e. steam, leaf, roots, skin etc. proper utilization of each part of the plant based on its application are studied with suitable epoxy polymer material. The work will most beneficial for improving the wear material in line with tribological behaviour, with proper utilization of natural waste products.Keywords
