In this study, polyphenylene sulphide was used as a matrix material due to its superior engineering properties. Expanded perlite is formed substantially from silica oxides, and it is a volcanic based and porous structure material. Its low price and low density make it very usable as a filler material. For this reason, expanded perlite reinforced polyphenylene sulphide matrix composites were prepared at various weight ratios (0, 1, 3, 5, and 10 wt%). Mechanical and tribological characterizations were done with tensile tests, hardness measurements, solid particle erosion, ball on disc, and scratch tests. According to the tensile test results, a synergistic effect was observed in mechanical properties by using perlite as a reinforcing agent. As expected, perlite reinforcement resulted in an increase in the modulus of 54% in composites. As well as tensile strength of the composite increased by approximately 13%. Furthermore, the perlite particle reinforcement improved the adhesion resistance by 73% and the scratch resistance by 30%. On the other hand, especially at low impact angles, perlite particle reinforcement decreased the erosive wear resistance of the pure polyphenylene sulphide polymer by 50%. Furthermore, expanded perlite reinforcement decreased the plastic deformation ability of polyphenylene sulphide. In consequence of this study, it has been found that expanded perlite particles can be used as an alternative filler instead of conventional reinforcing particles.

在本研究中，聚苯硫醚因其优异的工程性能而被用作基体材料。膨胀珍珠岩主要由氧化硅形成，它是一种基于火山的多孔结构材料。其低廉的价格和低密度使其非常适合用作填充材料。出于这个原因，膨胀珍珠岩增强聚苯硫醚基复合材料以各种重量比（0、1、3、5 和 10 重量%）制备。机械和摩擦学特征通过拉伸试验、硬度测量、固体颗粒侵蚀、圆盘上的球和划痕试验完成。根据拉伸试验结果，使用珍珠岩作为增强剂在力学性能上观察到协同效应。正如预期的那样，珍珠岩增强使复合材料的模量增加了 54%。以及复合材料的拉伸强度增加了大约 13%。此外，珍珠岩颗粒增强剂将抗粘附性提高了 73%，将抗划伤性提高了 30%。另一方面，特别是在低冲击角下，珍珠岩颗粒增强使纯聚苯硫醚聚合物的耐腐蚀性能降低 50%。此外，膨胀珍珠岩增强降低了聚苯硫醚的塑性变形能力。根据这项研究，发现膨胀珍珠岩颗粒可以用作替代填料，而不是传统的增强颗粒。特别是在低冲击角下，珍珠岩颗粒增强使纯聚苯硫醚聚合物的耐腐蚀性能降低 50%。此外，膨胀珍珠岩增强降低了聚苯硫醚的塑性变形能力。根据这项研究，发现膨胀珍珠岩颗粒可以用作替代填料，而不是传统的增强颗粒。特别是在低冲击角下，珍珠岩颗粒增强使纯聚苯硫醚聚合物的耐腐蚀性能降低 50%。此外，膨胀珍珠岩增强降低了聚苯硫醚的塑性变形能力。根据这项研究，发现膨胀珍珠岩颗粒可以用作替代填料，而不是传统的增强颗粒。
