Short Carbon Fibers (SCFs) of length 90 µm and diameter of 14.5 µm were dispersed into epoxy resins to form SCF-epoxy nanocomposites by sonication and curing. Samples of different SCF fractions ranging from 0wt% to 20wt% were prepared and put under a CSM MicroTribometer to undergo tribological testi...
