Basalt fibres, derived from volcanic rocks, have emerged as a highly promising reinforcement in composite materials due to their outstanding thermo-mechanical properties and environment friendly applications. It is known that addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) as a secondary nanofiller reinforcement significantly improves the tribological properties of polymer matrix composites (PMCs). However limited research is available on the effect of GNP on the tribological properties of basalt fibre-reinforced polymer composites. This study investigates the tribological characteristics of a symmetric basalt-FRP composite integrated with 1% GNP, utilising a pin-on-disc tribometer in accordance with ASTM G99. The frictional characteristics of the composite were evaluated under the dry sliding condition. This comprehensive analysis aims to elucidate the material’s performance metrics and assess its viability as a sustainable alternative to conventional tribological materials. The experimental data reveal the variation of following tribological parameters with time: the coefficient of friction, frictional force and wear rates. The results provide crucial insights into the composite's effectiveness in reducing ecological impact compared to traditional materials, thereby advancing the development of environment friendly composite solutions.
