This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) particles as a filler material in natural Ficus Benghalensis (FB) fiber-reinforced hybrid polymer composites on their dry sliding wear performance. The were fabricated using hand stir technique, with varying weight fractions fibers and TiO into an epoxy matrix. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was conducted examine bonding strength. Various physico-mechanical properties evaluated, including density, water absorption, tensile & flexural properties, micro-hardness, under different fibers. inclusion 5 wt. % raise strength all by 6–10% compared unfilled composites. addition increasing FB fiber content enhance micro-hardness raw epoxy. Specifically, increases from 0.085 GPa 0.274 GPa, 0.361 0.444 for 2, 4, 6 fibers, respectively. Sliding tests also performed assess surface response, influence specific control parameters (sliding velocity, distance, normal load, content) output performance determined Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array. results showed that improved (6–10%), (3–5%), hardness (11–22%) found have greatest rate, followed distance load having negligible influence. Overall, highlights potential Benghalensis/epoxy matrix improve mechanical properties.
