Abstract

Wood is a solid material, and it is derived from shrubs and trees. The wood is composed of cellulose (40% to 50%), hemicellulose (15% to 25%), and lignin (15% to 30%). It can be classified as (i) softwood or (ii) hardwood, and some of the advantages include biodegradable nature, non-corrosive, high load-bearing capacity, etc. Though the wood has many benefits, it has a significant disadvantage of porous nature, poor resistance against abrasion, and delamination. Furthermore, the wood is susceptible to (i) light, (ii) heat, and (iii) ultraviolet (UV) radiations. Thus, this chapter examines that the issues related to the tribological behavior of wood plastic-based composites. The term ‘tribology’ is dealt with the subject of (i) wear, (ii) friction, and (iii) lubrication characteristics. Furthermore, any tribomaterials are developed by analyzing their friction and wear characteristics by varying (i) applying a load, (ii) sliding velocity, (iii) sliding distance, and (iv) working temperature.
