Thermal Behaviour, Coating Performance and SEM Analysis of Surface Morphology Aspects of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study investigates the influence of thermal behaviour, coating performance, and surface morphology on fibre-, filler-, and nanofiller-reinforced polymer matrix composites. Key parameters such as fibre type (natural or synthetic), matrix material, fibre orientation, reinforcement volume fraction, and the presence of coatings are systematically analysed to understand their impact on thermal performance. Surface morphological analysis is conducted to identify the underlying wear mechanisms and modes of failure. The role of fibre reinforcement type and its proportion in achieving optimal wear resistance is also evaluated. Additionally, the effects of abrasive material characteristics including particle size, shape, and composition, on the wear behaviour of the composites are examined. Various coating materials and deposition techniques are assessed to determine their effectiveness in enhancing the thermal and wear performance of the composites. Furthermore, the study compares computational simulation results with experimental findings to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of predictive models in capturing wear behaviour and material deformation..
