Objectives: Previous studies have demonstrated increased in vitro wear of composite after long-term water exposure. The increased wear effect was not clearly related to debonding of the filler from the matrix, resulting in accelerated loss of filler particles. The hypothesis tested in this experiment was that the changes in in vitro three-body wear of a composite following water storage are caused by changes in the wear resistance of the polymer matrix.
Methods: In the in vitro wear test used, a specimen wheel was rotated against an antagonist wheel in a slurry of millet seed and water. Specimens were fabricated of composite and polymer matrix only. Specimens were wear tested after 1 wk of ambient temperature dry storage and after 14, 20, and 26 mon of water storage at 37 degrees C.
Results: The wear of the composite significantly increased (23%) during the 26 mon of water storage. The wear of the polymer specimens increased slightly; however, the increase was not statistically significant.
Significance: Analyses of the data using a series model for the wear of a composite indicated that the increase in wear of the composite was not due to changes in the wear resistance of the polymer matrix. Instead, the increased composite wear was more likely due to increases in the dislodgment rate of filler particles and the wear rate of the filler itself.

Tire wear particles (TWPs) are considered the one of most significant non-exhaust particle emission sources from vehicles. However, there is a lack of research on the emission characteristics of TWPs based on typical driving information. In this work, we used a high-dynamic outside wheel test platform to conduct tire wear tests on multiple types of tires based on a novel test cycle and comprehensively analyzed the differences in their emission characteristics while considering various factors, such as front/rear tire and tire type.

Natural materials are valued for their lightweight properties, high strength, impact resistance, and fracture toughness, often outperforming human-made materials. This paper reviews recent research on biomimetic composites, focusing on how composition, microstructure, and interfacial characteristics affect mechanical properties like strength, stiffness, and toughness. It explores biological structures such as mollusk shells, bones, and insect exoskeletons that inspire lightweight designs, including honeycomb structures for weight reduction and impact resistance.

Aluminum-carbon nanotube (Al-CNT) composites represent a cutting-edge class of materials characterized by their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, making them highly promising for aerospace, automotive, electronics, and energy applications. This review systematically examines the impact of various fabrication methods, including conventional powder metallurgy, diffusion and reaction coupling, as well as adhesive and reaction bonding on the microstructure and performance of Al-CNT composites. The analysis emphasizes the critical role of CNT dispersion, interfacial bonding, and the formation of reinforcing phases, such as AlC and AlO, in determining the mechanical strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability of these materials.
