Tribological Performance of Bamboo Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Composites

Bamboo fiber is one of the strongest natural fibers with high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios can be used economically for manufacturing fiber-reinforced composites. In this paper, bamboo fabric-reinforced epoxy composite manufactured its tribological properties load-bearing applications are investigated. Sliding wear tests conducted using a linear reciprocating tribometer effect dry lubricated contact conditions, applied load, sliding speed, temperature, woven fabric direction on coefficient friction rate A scanning electron microscope to define mechanisms at room elevated temperatures. It observed that orientation influences mechanical performances material. Wear increases higher loads working temperatures; however, speed not remarkable, especially under conditions. The results present in paper designing bamboo-reinforced composites applications, different
