Description
Summary:This is a review article on brake pads produced using natural fiber. The various International attempts to address environmental issues and the necessity to safeguard the environment have given light to research emphasizing natural fibers usage in various applications, including automotive brake pads. The usage of asbestos in the brake pads is to be avoided because of the high risk in health it possesses, such as being carcinogenic and unsafe to the environment. Thus researchers are interested in natural fiber due to its excellent properties, very cheap, readily available, non-toxic, etc. In this investigation, the mechanical and tribological property of a non-asbestos brake pad is compared with the asbestos brake pad. These cases illustrate non-asbestos brake pads' ability to achieve substantial improvements in wear rate, Coefficient of friction, Hardness, and moisture absorption compared to conventional brake pads overbroad, and Several factors contribute to these improvements.
