The use of fillers in polymeric composites helps to improve their tensile strength and compressive strength to enhance tribological characteristics,toughness and thermal stability. In addition to higher mechanical strength obtained due to addition of fillers in polymeric composites,there is also a reduction in cost,in terms of lesser requirement of the resin material. Various researchers have reported in the literature that the wear resistance of polymers can be improved by the addition of fillers such as Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and Silicon carbide (SiC). The use of fillers and glass fibres has also been reported to be very effective in reducing wear under adhesive conditions. The reactions of fillers with counter steel surface contributed to the formation of a thin,stable and adherent transfer film,resulting in lower coefficient of friction and in turn higher wear resistance. Hence,in these research work the addition of Al2O3 and SiC as a filler material in Glass Epoxy (GE) system has been taken up for investigation from the point of characterizing them for friction and wear behaviour. © 2016,International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology.
