This review provides current insights on designing brake friction composites and states the
extent of deviation since its historical evolution, the nuances of braking-induced contact …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of a resin composition on the
performance of brake pads with durian seeds (BDs) as the base material. Experiments were …

Composites are one of the most widely used materials because of their adaptability to
different situations and applications. They are relative ease of combination with other …

The manufacturing of materials, in conjunction with green technology, emphasises the need
to employ renewable resources to ensure long-term sustainability. Re-exploring renewable …

Brake friction materials (BFMs) have a critical role in ensuring the safety as well as the
reliability of automotive braking systems. However, traditional BFMs, typically made from …

Mechanical and tribological properties of phenolic resin matrix composites reinforced by
bamboo fibers, which were pre-treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and post-treated with …

In this work, basalt fibers (BF) have been investigated as possible natural and sustainable
replacements for the common synthetic mineral filler—glass fibers (GF)—used in polyamide …

The use of composite materials in brake pads is becoming increasingly popular due to their
high-performance characteristics, including good thermal stability, high wear resistance, and …

Hybrid fillers can be produced via various methods, such as physical mixing and chemical
modification. However, there is a limited number of studies on the effect of hybridisation on …

The present study explores the physical-mechanical and tribological properties of hybrid
wood fiber and rockwool-reinforced asbestos-free resin-based friction materials. We …
