Abstract

Abstract: Studying about different materials for brake pads is necessary as the asbestos brake pads causing the harmful effects and these should be phased out. There are many alternatives for asbestos are investigated from different journals. In this review paper some of the most suitable environment friendly and best performed compositions are presented. Fibres made of agricultural wastes like banana peels, palm wastes, aramid fibres, flax fibres etc. are studied. By using bio source raw materials like condensed tannins and furfural alcohol a bio sourced thermo set resin was developed and used and tested for a new application: as a resin matrix of automotive brake pads. The manufacturing procedure developed is particularly easy. Automotive brake pads based on this green resin were characterized and showed better braking properties and wear resistance when used under real car, full scale test conditions. Different alternatives for filler materials, Different binders like phenolic resin, epoxy resin are also studied and it effects on the performance of brake pads are presented. Formulations that are made by varying compositions of filler, fibre, binder etc. and possibility of replacing the existing formulations and its effect on the physical and tribiological properties of the brake pad are studied.
