【 摘 要 】

Industrial application of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (HFRP) is increasing day by day. HFRP composites have many advantages such as lightweight, high specific strength etc. which make HFRP composites a suitable material in aerospace industry. This paper compares the tribological properties of HFRP composites and HFRP composites doped with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) fabricated by vacuum bagging process under different loads and different environments. The experiment was performed on a pin on disc type tribometer with HFRP samples and steel disc of hardness 60 HRC acting as a counter surface. Experimental results depict that addition of MWCNTs improves tribological behavior of the composite. In addition to that morphology of specimens was examined by optical microscope.
