In this study, asbestos-free automotive brake pads produced from palm kernel fibers with
epoxy-resin binder was evaluated. Resins varied in formulations and properties such as …

Development of asbestos-free brake pad using bagasse was investigated with a view to
replace the use of asbestos whose dust is carcinogenic. The bagasse were sieve into sieve …

Friction materials are applicable for braking and transmission in various machines and
equipment. Their composition keeps changing to keep pace with technological development …

The brake pad material was fabricated using asbestos-free agro-waste sugar cane bagasse
ash (SCBA) at low cost by a compression molding technique. SCBA in varying proportions …

Composite materials from fiber and fillers have been seen to improve composite mechanical
properties, reduce costs and increase impact strength. The choice of fiber, filler, binder …

Brakes have been advanced in the recent years through many developments. Previously all
these years brake pads were made of asbestos fiber which are very harmful in many ways …

The attractive performance-to-cost ratio associated with the incorporation of waste material
in composite formulations used to produce brake pads has stimulated the idea of exploring …

An asbestos free friction material composite for brake linings is synthesized containing
fibrous reinforcing constituents, friction imparting and controlling additives, elastomeric …
