This investigation focuses on the wear resistance and surface morphology of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-filled bio-based epoxy composites. study examines impact different MWCNT concentrations (0 Wt.%, 0.25 0.50 0.75 Wt.%) properties these Techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force (AFM) were utilized for comprehensive characterization. The results demonstrated a direct correlation between content composites, which corroborated by robust statistical analysis. Furthermore, SEM AFM observations disclosed incremental enhancements in both quality concentration increased. research not only augments understanding mechanisms composites but also aligns with burgeoning focus sustainable materials.
