Influence of Natural Fiber Content on the Frictional Material of Brake Pads—A Review

Research into the use of eco-friendly materials, such as natural fibers, in brake pads has gained momentum last few decades. This can be attributed to potential fibers replace traditional materials tribological applications braking pads. The harmful impact commonly-used pad metal and mineral on human health environment necessitates development alternatives. Natural banana peels, palm kernels, slag, have been shown a viable replacement for materials. article reviews literature different their physical, mechanical, properties. Trends density, porosity, hardness, coefficient friction (COF), wear rate are observed. recommended formulations yield optimum properties, according perspective several studies, showcased. In addition, effect asbestos material life-cycle assessment CO2 emission is highlighted. an attempt provide foundation future researchers field fiber-reinforced composites applications.
