Study the adhesion wear damage of plastic wood composite in the presence of experimental variables

The hybridization mechanism was used to support the wood-plastic composite (WPC) in a way that leads to a change in its tribological properties represented by the wear rate (W.R) using the manual casting method. And study the effect of different operating conditions represented in the amount of load applied, the duration of sliding, and the distance of sliding, which has been reinforced with rice husk ≤300 microns with a weight fraction of 25% and carbon fibers with a weight fraction of (0-6)%, then compare the properties of these compounds with the properties of wood composites. Rice husk reinforced plastic only. This study concluded that (WPC) only has a higher (W.R) under different operating conditions than the hybrid (WPC) and carbon fiber. This hybridization mechanism gave distinct tribological properties that cannot be obtained using one type of reinforcement. The study conducted on wood-plastic composite type (Ep/Up 50:50+25%RH) showed that the rate of wear (Wear damage) is affected by the amount of both the applied load and the sliding distance, as well as the duration of operation (putting the sample in the wear device). And that the best wear rate was for the hybrid composite (50Ep+50Up) +25%RH+4%C. F at the weight fraction (4%).
