Sliding Wear Performance of Natural Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
While synthetic fiber composites offer some positive environmental attributes, researchers are trying to explore natural fiber composites (NFCs) due to the high cost and pollution associated with their production. As a result, it is essential to look at the tribological properties that natural composite materials exhibit.
