The Effect of Fillers on the Tribological Properties of Composites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Tribological Applications of Composite Materials

Part of the book series: Composites Science and Technology ((CST))

Abstract

Recent advances in the sphere of materials engineering have seen the advent of a new generation of composite materials that have become a replacement for the traditional materials used in different industries over the years. The proven potential of composite technology to deliver in line with critical global trends in the aerospace, automobile, and marine industries has placed it on top of other materials in the market. As composite materials can be lightweight and durable, they score very highly on efficiency measures with desired engineering properties required. A careful and wise combination of matrices, reinforcements, and additives can be tailored for specific applications of the end product. Traditionally, most of the fillers were considered as additives, limiting their contribution to a composite only on reducing their cost. However, the diversity of applications and a broad spectrum of their usage has led to high demand for incorporating fillers in composite technology. In this perspective, the objective of this chapter is to explore the works of literature for providing information about the fillers concerning processing, functions, mechanical and tribological characteristics, environmental impact. Moreover, the recent advances and challenges in employing different types of fillers in different classes of composites have been briefly discussed.
