Design, characterization, and performance analysis of Miscanthus fiber reinforced composite for brake application

This study deals with the development of new friction materials by incorporating Miscanthus fiber (5, 10, and 15 weight %, noted Mat1, Mat2, Mat3, respectively). The were tested for their physical, mechanical, microstructural properties as per international standard. performance analysis was carried out using Chase test rig. Results revealed that biomass is beneficial good fade, wear resistance, recovery characteristics, same trend other natural fibers. Therefore, this ingredient proved to be useful in brake material.
