Abstract
An experimental characterization of the abrasive wear behavior of clay and clay plus short carbon fiber filled polyamide66/polypropylene (PA66/PP) nanocomposites has been investigated. Two‐body abrasive wear studies were carried out using pin‐on‐disc wear tester under multi‐pass condition against the water proof silicon carbide abrasive paper. It was observed that the clay reinforcement is detrimental to the abrasive wear resistance of PA66/PP blend. A combination of clay and short carbon fiber in PA66/PP blend improved the abrasive wear performance than those of clay filled PA66/PP nanocomposites. Further, on the basis of microscopic observation of the worn surfaces, dominant wear mechanisms were discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
