“…Apart from their low cost and light weight, natural fiber reinforced composites are getting more attention because they are renewable, low energy consumption, and biodegradable. Aside from these benefits, increasing environmental concerns and rising petroleum consumption levels are driving the entire world to use more sustainable natural resources such as natural fibers [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Therefore, natural fibers are rising as reinforcing fibers for composite materials in the automotive, furniture, packaging, and construction industries due to these advantages [ 6 ].…”

The braking system is a crucial element in automotive safety. In order for the braking mechanism to function effectively, the brake pads’ durability as well as quality are crucial aspects to take into account. A brake pad is a part of a vehicle that holds the wheel rotation so that braking can occur. Asbestos, which is harmful to human health, is a raw material that is recently being widely used as a material mixture for the manufacturing of brake pads. Many efforts have been made by researchers to find other natural alternative materials to replace the use of asbestos. Natural materials that have received much attention and research include coconut fiber, wood powder or flour, bamboo fiber, shell powder, etc. This review paper focuses on analyzing the main parameters that affect brake pad performance. The composition of filler and fiber types of reinforcement for polymer composites is discussed. Previous studies’ information on the fabrication and testing of brake pads are also highlighted. Furthermore, the findings of this review can provide researchers and academicians with useful information and points to consider for further research.

“…Coconut coir fibres have a cellulose content (approximately 1540%) in the primary cell wall and are arranged in disorderly scaffold fibrils [14]. The cellulose content in the secondary cell wall rises to 90% of the dry weight [15]. These cellulose fibrils are tightly packed and organised helically.…”

This study examined the surface morphology and thermal behaviour of the coir fibres incorporated with murraya koenigii before and after alkaline treatment. The mechanical properties of biocomposites reinforced by the untreated fibres, treated fibres, mono-layer and tri-layer treated fibres incorporated with murraya koenigii were systematically investigated. The experimental results showed significant enhancements in tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness, and impact resistance of the biocomposites reinforced by treated fibres. Notably, the alkaline treatment has produced a rougher surface on coir fibres, promoting improved mechanical interlocking between the fibres and the polyethene matrix. These effects become more significant when murraya koenigii particles are incorporated into the fibres. It was found that the tri-layer treated fibres incorporated with murraya koenigii biocomposites showed higher tensile and flexural strength, superior hardness and impact strength when compared to the mono-layer reinforcement biocomposites. At higher temperatures, the treated fibres showed better thermal stability than the untreated fibres and polyethene. Incorporating murraya koenigii particles increased the thermal resistance of the treated fibres, revealing the potential of this green synthesis approach for the development of thermally stable natural fibre composites.
