Effect of reinforcement on wear debris of carbon nanofiber/high density polyethylene composites: Morphological study and quantitative analysis

► It is the study analyzing the influence of wear debris on wear behavior of polymeric materials. ► It correlates wear property with morphology and particle size distribution of composite debris. ► This is the first study showing the morphologies of wear debris of PE nanocomposites. ► This work is focusing on the effect of various nanofibers on wear debris of PE composites.
