Investigation of Wear Behavior in Self-Lubricating ABS Polymer Composites Reinforced with Glass Fiber/ABS and Glass Fiber/Carbon Fiber/ABS Hybrid

A new hybrid fabrication technique was introduced to manufacture composite laminates made of glass fiber, carbon and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the matrix. The process utilized two different techniques: fused deposition modeling hot press molding. were produced using five layers fibers form fiber-reinforced composites (GF/ABS) fiber (GF/CF/ABS), with three fibers. fabricated subjected wear testing at velocities 2 m/s, 3 4 m/s under loads 5 N 10 N. results indicated that GF/ABS samples had lowest loss a velocity m/s. Additionally, GF/CF/ABS coefficient friction (COF) 0.28 also exhibited force 1.7 worn analyzed scanning electron microscope examine fiber-to-matrix adhesion behavior. are widely used in various applications due their high strength-to-weight ratio resistance wear. These materials could be automotive parts, sporting goods, marine applications.
