摘要

Biocomposites are the green materials fabricated by natural fibre reinforcement within the polymeric matrix and have the characteristics of eco-friendliness, bio-degradability, non-toxicity, reduced carbon footprints, viable strength to weight ratio, and complete or partial recyclability. Due to these characteristics, biocomposites are being explored for many applications such as automotive, aerospace, building construction, and packaging. The mechanical characterization of biocomposites is widely explored field, but the tribological performance of these composites is tempting researchers to gain in-depth view of their running-in behavior under different operating parameters. The introductory section of chapter discusses about the green industry concept including role of green materials and sustainability. The further section reports an overview of green tribology; followed by review of friction and wear performance of biocomposites made of bast fibres (jute, kenaf, hemp and sugarcane). The tribological review of these fibres is based on fibre content, fibre orientation, fibre treatment and addition of filler in composite. The effect of fibre-matrix interface and transfer layer on tribological properties of green composites are also discussed, followed by conclusion and future scope.
