The incorporation of fillers into a hybrid composite matrix has shown tremendous increase in longevity and achieving the desired mix of tribological properties in dry sliding. The sliding wear performance of hybrid composites filled with clay particles was studied in this paper. For this study, clay nano particles were synthesized by solution combustion process and size was found to be 54 nm from X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Hybrid nano composite were synthesized by Clay nano particles and resin with hardeners like (HY951) with appropriate amounts like 1 wt%, 2wt% and 3 wt% of clay nano particles. The wear performances were studied by using pin-on-disc wear testing machine.
