Inherent brittleness and poor wear resistance of epoxy resin severely restricts its practical application in many applications. In this present, a micro‐nano structured ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 particle was employed to improve the tribological and thermo‐mechanical properties of epoxy resin. The micro‐nano structured ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 particles are synthesized by hydrothermal growth of nano‐ZrO 2 onto the surface of accordion‐like Ti 3 C 2 , and the ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 /epoxy composites are fabricated by solution blending and curing reaction. The surface morphology of ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 particles and the fracture surface of ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 /epoxy composites were investigated. Test results indicated that the wear rate, storage modulus and glass transition temperature of epoxy resin is effectively improved by incorporation of ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 particles, maybe ascribing to the strong interfacial interaction between micro‐nano structured ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 and epoxy matrix. In addition, the wear mechanism of ZrO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 /epoxy composites were further revealed by analyzing their worn surfaces and wear debris. This work provides a promising strategy for improving the tribological and thermo‐mechanical properties of epoxy.
