Friction and wear experiments were performed on carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, and the tribological behavior of these materials under boundary lubrication (based on the 5100 4T 10 W-30 engine oil with TiO Degussa P25 nanoparticles) was investigated. Experiments were carried out in two directions: one at a different normal load from 6 to 16 N and one at a low sliding speed of 110 mm/min under boundary lubrication conditions. The obtained results reveal the stick-slip effect and the static and dynamic coefficient of friction decreased slightly with increasing normal applied load on the carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite pairs.
