This paper reveals that the developed brake pad is better than selected market available composite brake pads on basis of hardness, thermal property, porosity distribution, and tribological performance analysis.
This improvement makes the ceramic more tolerant to damage during the wear.
This paper shows that the wear particles emitted from the brake pad material vary in diameter between 10 nm and 10 μm under various loads and sliding velocities.
These values compare well with the properties exhibited by conventional/commercial brake pads indicating a potential for effective performance in service.
Automotive brake pads based on this green resin were characterized and showed excellent braking properties and wear resistance when used under real car, full scale test conditions.

Further, it is believed that the deterioration characteristics of the abrasive particles are important factors influencing both wear rate and wear mechanisms of the ceramic materials.
The presence of ceramic particle in the matrix improves the hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability, and durability of the materials.
Thus, Fibers found to have performed palatably among all commercial brake pads.
This work demonstrated experimentally that the knowledge of the particle characteristics before the coating formation is important to predict the wear behavior of the ceramic.
The results indicated that a three-stage braking procedure is effective to evaluate both the friction and wear properties of experimental brake pad materials.
Their mechanical resistance was found to be comparable to that of commercial automotive brake pads bonded with synthetic phenolic resins.
Friction transfer materials removal, SiC region polishing, and lower real contact pressure reinforce hydrodynamic process that a ceramic composite brake can experience.
