  Author(s): Ibrahem RAIbrahem RA
  
  Natural Fiber Reinforcement Polymeric Composites (NFRPC) used in the recent days in wide range of industrial applications. For its good environmental properties and availability, natural fibers and natural additives used as reinforcing material for most of polymeric composites. In the present work, polyester composites filled by date seeds powder as a natural filling material were proposed as (NFRPC). Effect of different parameters on the tribological behavior of the proposed composite is studied. The proposed variables are; applied normal load, sliding speed, sliding distance and the percentage of filler contents. Pin on Disk tribometer was designed and constructed for the tribological measurements. Friction coefficient and rate of wear for the proposed composites have been obtained. The results show that; the coefficient of friction for polyester composites filled with date seed pow.. Read More»
