Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) is one of the engineering thermoplastic terpolymer widely used over the
past decades and found applications in many fields like automotive, aerospace, business machines, computers,
telephone handsets etc. It has been used as a homopolymer or matrix of the composite materials and found
applications in many engineering components like business machines, computers, telephone handsets, automotive
interior etc. whereas high coefficient of friction and wear rate for neat ABS polymer limit its applications in
tribology. Kaolin is one among the most important fillers used in polymer composites to modify the matrix
properties. Kaolin is white, soft, plastic clay mainly composed of fine-grained plate-like particles. Because of its
whiteness, fine particle size and plate-like structure, kaolin is suitable for adding as functional filler, extender,
ceramic raw material and pigment. Kaolin is a unique industrial mineral that remains chemically inert over a wide
pH range. It is soft and non-abrasive and has a low conductivity of heat and electricity. In general, the addition of
kaolin to thermosetting and thermoplastic mixes gives smoother surfaces, a more attractive finish, good dimensional
stability, and high resistance to chemical attack. Kaolin filled polymers are studied in many research articles related
to the rheological and mechanical properties
