The third-body approach: A mechanical view of wear

Carbon fibers (CFs) have high specific tensile strength, high modulus, and outstanding wear resistance, and are widely used for the reinforcement of advanced composite materials. CF-reinforced thermoplastic composites have received much attention because of their easy processability and recycling convenience compared with thermosetting composites. Surface treatment of CFs is generally employed to increase the surface functional groups and interfacial adhesion between the CFs and the surrounding polymer matrix. In this review, we explore recent advances in the surface treatment of CFs and preparation of CF/thermoplastic composites. The thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of the composites are also discussed.

Recent advances in carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites: A review

Replacement of conventional asbestos based friction materials has been called for because of bans on the use of asbestos. Research in this direction in the last decade has led to the development of more efficient asbestos-free friction materials for automobiles. Fiber reinforced polymers show great promise for applications in modern vehicles. This review article focuses on the recent developments in the application of composites as friction materials. The first part of the article contains brief information about brakes, their action, brake materials, their desired properties, etc. The second part deals with the recent developments in non-asbestos fiber reinforced friction materials.
