“…In contrast to other natural fibers, rice husk contains a significant amount of amorphous silica, potentially affecting brake pads’ tribological properties. Thus, utilizing rice husks to produce BFMs has the potential to produce a more eco-friendly and long-lasting alternative to conventional BFMs (asbestos) [ 18 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. In addition to rice husk, various other ceramic materials, either fibers or particles, have been incorporated into the matrix to produce BFMs [ 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

“…As it becomes more difficult to acquire homogeneous mixtures when reinforcing materials with a high density, the remaining particle agglomerates form stress concentrations in the matrix, which can act as notches[54]. In addition, the presence of agglomeration in the composite can cause an increase in the number of voids, a decrease in interfacial bonding, and a decrease in density[54,55].Rice husk has a high amorphous silica content, about 95%[18]. Thus, increasing the amount of rice husk employed in this study significantly increased the amorphous silica content in the BFM specimens.…”

Brake friction materials (BFMs) have a critical role in ensuring the safety as well as the reliability of automotive braking systems. However, traditional BFMs, typically made from asbestos, are associated with environmental and health concerns. Therefore, this results in a growing interest in developing alternative BFMs that are eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective. This study investigates the effect of varying concentrations of epoxy, rice husk, alumina (Al2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) on the mechanical and thermal properties of BFMs prepared using the hand layup method. In this study, the rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 were filtered through a 200-mesh sieve. Note that the BFMs were fabricated using different combinations and concentrations of the materials. Their mechanical properties, such as density, hardness, flexural strength, wear resistance, and thermal properties, were investigated. The results suggest that the concentrations of the ingredients significantly influence the mechanical and thermal properties of the BFMs. A specimen made from epoxy, rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 with concentrations of 50 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 15 wt.%, and 15 wt.%, respectively, produced the best properties for BFMs. On the other hand, the density, hardness, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and wear rate values of this specimen were 1.23 g/cm3, 81.2 Vickers (HV), 57.24 MPa, 4.08 GPa, and 8.665 × 10−7 mm2/kg. In addition, this specimen had better thermal properties than the other specimens. These findings provide valuable insights into developing eco-friendly and sustainable BFMs with suitable performance for automotive applications.

This study investigates the tribological impact of incorporating micaceous additives in copper‐free brake friction composites for automotive applications. Four brake pad formulations were created, each containing different amounts of muscovite and phlogopite, ranging from 0% to 10% by weight. A brake pad comparison was conducted by replacing mica with synthetic barites. The physical, thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of the fabricated brake friction composite were examined. Tribological features were evaluated through inertia brake dynamometer testing following the JASO‐C‐406 schedule. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis delved into contact plateau formations and back transfer patches on the brake pad's surfaces. Notably, phlogopite‐based pads exhibited enhanced thermal stability and efficient heat dissipation, contributing to sustained tribological performance. Overall, the comprehensive evaluation using the multiple objective optimization by ratio analysis (MOORA) method positioned phlogopite‐based brake pads as the optimal choice for optimized braking performances.Highlights Exploration of micaceous additives as an ingredient in brake friction composite. Phlogopite‐based brake pads showed better fade and recovery performance. Phlogopite‐based brake pads exhibited low pad wear and rotor wear. MOORA optimization positioned phlogopite‐based brake pads as the optimal choice.
