Abstract
Natural fibers based composites having good mechanical properties have attracted tribologists to explore their application range from friction materials to friction modifiers. Hybridization of the fiber reinforced polymer composite is necessary to ensure combined mechanical strength and tribological properties. Hence, this review discusses “hybrid natural fiber composites” in detail. Earlier, reports listed the tribological failure in polymer composites from the view point of mechanical failures such as fiber/matrix interfacial debonding, matrix crack, fiber fragments, and debris generation. The present review focuses on the transfer layer formation, influence of contact temperature, and degradation of self-lubricating polymer behavior of natural fiber based hybrid composites. The authors assume that present review article on the tribological properties of hybrid composites can guide the research community towards innovative material design for tribological applications by the hybridization of natural fiber composites.
