In this work to enhance the mechanical and wear resistance of the Nylon-6/SiO2 nanoparticles, added to SiO2 at various volume fractions to Nylon-6 matrix material. The composite is stirred continuously to maintain the homogeneity of the mixture in injection moulding.Tensile test and hardness tests are conducted for specimens to study the influence of the filler content, normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance the variation of mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscopic analysis is carried out for micro examination of the surfaces and to study the wear derbies. The result shows there is an influence of the filler material, and Nylon shows high bonding ability.
