Micro‐ and nano‐scale wear behavior of alumina vis‐á‐vis alumina‐carbon nanotube‐reinforced hybrid composites has been studied. In comparison to the pristine alumina, the alumina‐carbon nanotube hybrid reinforcement resulted in reduced scratch depth and lower frictional coefficient. Addition of carbon nanotube has effectively modified the pristine alumina into a superior wear resistant filler. POLYM. COMPOS., 37:1577–1586, 2016. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers
