Abstract Aramid Nanofibers (ANFs), akin to PPTA Poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide),
stand at the forefront of cutting-edge nanomaterials, boasting exceptional properties like …

The braking system is a crucial element in automotive safety. In order for the braking
mechanism to function effectively, the brake pads' durability as well as quality are crucial …

Due to its low friction coefficient and wear rate, and good self-lubrication, carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite is used as friction material. The easy interlaminar …

The phenolic-based brake friction composites containing 0, 1, 2 and 4 vol% carbon fiber
were fabricated in this study. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed the adverse impact …

Abstract Aramid fiber/pulp (AF*) is one of the most important ingredients, of non-asbestos
organic (NAO) friction materials (FMs). In spite of its relatively high cost, it is invariably added …

Historically, copper (Cu) and its alloys have played a vital role as additives to non-asbestos
friction materials (FMs). Their main functions include; to increase thermal conductivity, to act …

The paper addresses the potential application of jute fibers in combination with powderized
hazelnut shells as natural and biodegradable fillers in non-asbestos organic (NAO) friction …

The phenolic resin composites modified with different volume ratios of nitrile rubber and
boron were prepared to study the effect of resins on the thermal, mechanical and tribological …

Sensitivity of μ (coefficient of friction) of friction composites towards load and speed is
composition specific. For an ideal friction material, it should be zero. It was of interest to …

To investigate the effect of short carbon fibre on the tribological behavior of phenolic resin-
based friction materials, a reference friction composite holding various ingredients without …
