A Comparative study of alkali treated date palm fiber based brake friction composites and standard Kevlar‐based brake friction composites

Abstract

Recently many research studies have revealed the increasing importance of natural fiber in modern applications. Natural fibers are used these days in many important sectors like medical, aerospace, agriculture, and so forth. The cause of increasing the application of natural fiber in different fields is its ecofriendly behavior and excellent mechanical properties. In the research work, date palm, a natural fiber, is used to replace asbestos and Kevlar, which are very harmful to the human body. There are very few papers on comparative study of natural fiber-based composites to actual brake friction material. In this study, new brake pad composites of date palm fiber are developed and compared with Kevlar-based brake pad composites. The different percentages (5%-20%) of date palm fiber and Kevlar (5-10) were used to compare the study.The date palm fiber composites have given maximum better results on 5% composition for the mechanical, tribological, physical, and chemical proprieties.

[Retracted] Development of Novel Bio‐mulberry‐Reinforced Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) Fibre Organic Brake Friction Composite Materials

“…The hydrophilic ionic liquid introduced surface roughness and improved the hydrophilicity of polyacrylonitrile nanofibres. The interlinked nanofibrous structure and the surface chemistry of the nanofibrous membranes are responsible for the higher affinity of the nanofibres for PM2.5 and thus the PM2.5 capture increases for polyacrylonitrile/diethyl ammonium dihydrogen phosphate nanofibre in comparison with polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membranes [ 61 , 62 ].…”

Bamboo natural fiber and PAN fiber used as a reinforced brake friction material: Developed asbestos‐free brake pads

“…Natural fiber has good mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. [16,17] Kevlar has now replaced asbestos and has excellent braking properties, but research has shown its negative impact. The use of asbestos started by keeping its advantage of excellent braking properties, although further research has found that it leads to various kinds of cancer and causes serious lung disease.…”

Physical mechanical, tribological, and thermal properties of new developed composites with Grewia optiva fiber and pan material

“…These materials have a lot of good properties with which we can replace synthetic materials. [1][2][3][4] Natural fiber use is increasing day by day in the development of new composites due to their excellent properties. [5][6][7] The recent synthetic fiber has been examined and shown to have many environmental problems.…”

“…[16,17,22] On the other hand, natural fibers are lightweight and easy to form and are less expensive, environmentally benign, and biodegradable. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]16,17,[21][22][23][24] It also has a high specific strength and good tensile strength. [17,21,22] Natural fibers are used in many applications, such as plastering, building, construction, transportation, and so forth.…”
