Assessment of Wearing Resistant Property of the Fabricated Polymeric Ceramic Material

Abstract

Background: A specific kind of substance in a polymeric material acts as a supporting framework, and the ceramic fragments enclosed within it are called a polymer-matrix ceramic composite. Due to the way distinct layers of composites attach to each other, the failure of composites varies from the characteristics of normal materials, and their efficacy is determined based on their wear-resistant properties.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate the wear-resistant behaviors of commonly used composite materials.

Methods: Al2O3 and ZrO2 are the ceramic materials chosen for the investigation, while epoxy (formaldehyde and phenol) is the polymer chosen. By altering the weight proportion of the ceramics in the matrix of polymers, the study evaluates the outcomes of wear resistance.

Results: The results show that up to 30% of the time, the zirconia composites wore out more quickly than the alumina composites.

Conclusions: The study focuses on determining the wear-resistant behavior of zirconia and alumina composites, providing insights into their use in weight-sensitive applications.
