Abstract
Multi-scale phase reinforced composites (MPRCs) have been undergoing accelerating progress in the past decade. A judicious combination of micron-scale fibers and nano-scale fillers, such as nanoparticles and nanotubes, are found to endow polymer composites enhanced mechanical and wear performance superior to conventional fiber-reinforced composites or nanocomposites. This chapter reviews the research on the wear and tribological behaviours of the MPRCs reinforced with short fibers and nano-fillers. The dramatic improvements reported in wear properties of MPRCs are considered principally ascribable to a new wear mechanism associated with the interaction between short fibers and nanoparticles. The rolling effects of nanoparticles which protect the fibers and reduce the severity of the wear of MPRCs are elucidated based on experimental findings. By using artificial neural network technique, a phenomenological model study can be carried out on the wear behaviours of MPRCs, which are complicated and influenced by manifold factors.
