On friction layer formation in polymer matrix composite materials for brake applications
TLDR
In this paper, the authors focused on the characterization of friction layer formation and correlation of the friction layer properties to the performance of a recently developed family of polymer matrix composites, and demonstrated that the character of a friction layer determined the friction performance of the investigated composite material.About:

Review of automotive brake friction materials
D. Chan,Gwidon Stachowiak +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, typical brake materials are reviewed and their advantages and disadvantages in contemporary brake applications are discussed, and the authors aim to eliminate the cloud of uncertainty by providing an insight into the common ingredients and make-up used in contemporary dry and wet friction pads and shoes.

On airborne nano/micro-sized wear particles released from low-metallic automotive brakes
Jana Kukutschová,Pavel Moravec,Vladimír Tomášek,Vlastimil Matějka,Jiří Smolík,Jaroslav Schwarz,Jana Seidlerová,Klára Šafářová,Peter Filip +8 more
TL;DR: The experiments demonstrated that airborne wear particles with sizes between 10 nm and 20 μm were released into the air, and the numbers of nanoparticles (< 100 nm) were by three orders of magnitude larger when compared to the microparticles.

Friction layers and friction films on PMC brake pads
Werner Österle,I. Urban +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a focused ion beam (FIB) technique was used to characterise superficial layers at micro-contact areas of a commercial brake pad, where the friction material was a polymer matrix composite with approximately 50% metal content (semi-metallic) and the counter part was a cast iron rotor.

Review of the phase transformation and synthesis of inorganic solids obtained by mechanical treatment (mechanochemical reactions)
I.J. Lin,Samuel Nadiv +1 more
TL;DR: The theoretical background of experimentally observed polymorphic transformations occurring during comminution processes (e.g. dry grinding of minerals) is discussed in this paper, where both the specific surface energy and volumetric elastic strain energy terms in the overall Gibbs free energy equation for the system in question play a major role in these transformations.

Carbyne Forms of Carbon: Do They Exist?
P. P. K. Smith,Peter R. Buseck +1 more
TL;DR: Carbynes have recently attracted attention as possible interstellar dust constituents and as carriers of presolar noble gases in meteorites, and their existence and that of the related mineral chaoite are questioned.
