In this research work, the Polymer composites of Acrylonitrile - Butadiene -Styrene (ABS) and filler material of Si3N4nanoparticles made using an injection molding machine by varying filler content of Si3N4. During the tensile test, it observed that the tensile characteristics of the composite enhanced by adding Si3N4 nanoparticles and also observed that hardness of the composite enhanced during the Vickers microhardness test. During the study of scanning electron microscopic analysis, It observes that the fracture surface on the specimen after tensile and wear tests. Wear properties of the composite are evaluated using different filler content, load conditions, speed, and sliding distances. Wear properties of the composite are mainly affected by load conditions and sliding distance.
