Experimental investigation on the tribological behavior of fiber-reinforced plastics(FRP) has been studied. It is shown that the frictional behavior of carbon FRP depends on the fiber-orientation while glass FRP does not. The friction coefficient values for carbon FRP were about 0.8, 0.3, and 0.2 for normal, 45$^{\circ}$ and 0$^{\circ}$ sliding directions respectively. Also, the applied load was found to affect the friction coefficient. In the case of this work, 50 gf resulted in the highest value while 200 gf resulted in the lowest value. The friction coefficients for higher loads fell in between the two extreme values.
