In this study, we demonstrated that adding 0.05 wt.% cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) to CNF-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite materials enhanced hardness, toughness, and maximum flexural strength, surpassing commercially available PMMA variants. Furthermore, CNF addition substantially improved PMMA’s wear resistance, reducing wear volume through increased hardness and CNF’s lubricating effect. The observed variation in slope in the wear volume versus dissipated energy plot suggests different wear mechanisms, and the potential to serve as a sensor for detecting wear interface behavior.
