Evaluation of blue Cupressus Arizona cone in automotive brake pad biocomposite

Recently, new brake pads have been developed using sustainable materials that are not harmful to the environment. In this study, effect of blue-colored Cupressus arizonica cones was determined as a friction modifier in pad composites. Four different samples were prepared by grinding cone material. The samples’ physical and chemical properties performances compared, finally, their microscopic analyses visualized scanning electron microscopy. Maximum coefficient minimum wear rate required for pads. maximum 0.39 containing obtained 0.124X10-7 cm3/Nm BCA3 sample. When from lignocellulosic biomass it sample met most reasonable performance values.
