In the present investigation, optical microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy
(CLSM), microindentation and image segmentation were employed to investigate the …

The tribological behavior of new green friction materials with rice husk (RH) and rice husk
ash (RHA) is discussed in the current paper. Two formulations developed, one with 6% RH …

This article describes and explains the tribological tests and methods for the evaluation of
the performance of the brake friction materials. It starts by discussing the particularities of …

The present paper addresses the tribological behaviour of new eco-friendly brake friction
materials with rice husk (RH). Three formulations with different RH content (0%, 6% and …

The aim of this study is to develop a method for selecting and ranking automotive brake
friction composite materials made from agro-waste and natural fibers. This is achieved by …

This article aims to describe the sequence of events (cause-effect) that lead to the transition
in wear regime from moderate to severe for brake friction materials (BFM). Tribofilm, contact …

There have been growing concerns over using non-renewable resources while
manufacturing goods and related environmental laws worldwide. As part of efforts to reduce …

Previous studies have shown that the copper originated from the wear of automotive brake
friction materials (BFM) is one of the main sources of the deposit of this metal in rivers and …

This first regional issue published in STMP highlights the potential and importance of the
research carried out in Latin America regarding surface engineering and tribology. In order …

The present research article addresses an investigation of tribological properties of 3
commercially available cast polyamide 6 (PA 6): a natural PA 6 polymer, a PA 6 filled with …
