Wear mechanism of treated oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre reinforced polyoxymethylene composite
The present study aims to investigate the potential improvement in the wear resistance of polyoxymethylene (POM) based composite using oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibre as reinforcement. This is to provide a prospective candidate of tribo-materials for low friction application such as bearing...

The present study aims to investigate the potential improvement in the wear resistance of polyoxymethylene (POM) based composite using oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibre as reinforcement. This is to provide a prospective candidate of tribo-materials for low friction application such as bearing composite. Initially, the OPEFB fibre were treated with sodium hydroxide solution for 1 h at 2 wt% concentration to improve the fibre-matrix adhesion. Untreated and treated OPEFB fibre were incorporated into POM matrix to develop composite using a compression moulding technique under different fibre loading (10, 20 and 30 wt%).
