Abstract

Nylon ( $N$ ), Glass-filled nylon (GFN) composites and hybrid graphene oxide blended GFN (GO-GFN) nanocomposites plates were prepared by blending and subsequent injection molding process. Mechanical tests were conducted to study the tensile property, flexural property and hardness of nylon, GFN and GO-GFN system. The fabricated plates were subjected to abrasive wear testing in Pin-on-disc tribometer. The pin used is aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) ceramic tool. The coefficient of friction, frictional force and loading variations were observed and studied to analyze the susceptibility of nylon, GFN and GO-GFN nanopolymer composites for abrasive wear conditions. This experimental study confirmed the enhancement in the abrasive wear resistance behavior of GO-GFN hybrid nanocomposites.
