The effects of polypyrrole coatings on the tensile and tribological properties of bamboo fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites were studied. Tribological tests were conducted using a block‐on‐ring arrangement. It was observed that the polypyrrole coatings played a main role in the tensile‐resistant and wear‐resistant properties of the PA6 composites. The tensile properties were ruled by the fiber‐matrix adhesion. And the excellent tribological performance of the fillers improved the tribological properties of PA6 composites. The optimum content of polypyrrole coating concentration is 7vol%.
