| Description |
In this paper, studies have been conducted to investigate the abrasive wear behaviour of jute fibre-reinforced polypropylene composites. Effect of addition of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MA-g-PP)-coupling agent by two different approach, sliding distance and load on abrasive wear performance of jute fibre–PP composites has been determined by using a SUGA abrasion tester. Use of coupling agent gives better wear resistance as compared to without the use of coupling agent. It has also been found that addition of MA-g-PP coupling agent during melt mixing gives better wear resistance as compared to the jute PP composites having MA-g-PP solution-treated jute fibres, which has been explained on the basis of highest thermal stability of jute–PP Composite having melt-mixed MA-g-PP. Abrasive wear performance of the composites has been explained with the help of surface microstructures of worn surfaces.
