This investigation focuses on the wear resistance and surface morphology of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-filled bio-based epoxy composites. This study examines the impact of different MWCNT concentrations (0 Wt.%, 0.25 Wt.%, 0.50 Wt.%, and 0.75 Wt.%) on the wear properties of these composites. Techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were utilized for comprehensive surface characterization. The results demonstrated a direct correlation between the MWCNT content and the wear resistance of the composites, which were corroborated by robust statistical analysis. Furthermore, SEM and AFM observations disclosed incremental enhancements in both wear resistance and surface quality as the MWCNT concentration increased. This research not only augments the understanding of wear mechanisms in bio-based epoxy composites but also aligns with the burgeoning focus on sustainable materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
