Abstract

According to survey, the most replaceable or the most frequently worn out part of the vehicle is the brake pad. The present era is dominated by nano-materials. Researchers are forced to discover the potential of nano-particles in day to day application. Nanoparticle is used as composite material because of its intensive interaction with the matrix and the low wear surface of brake pad. Nanoparticle is used as filler in good quality non-asbestos organic (NAO) friction materials (FMs). However, the role of nano-particle in brake pad friction material is difficult due to less findings of nanoparticle in brake pad application. Three NAO friction material brake pads with same constituents but different constituent size of nano-particles were developed. One of the composite has been developed without nano-particle, while other two composites with 5% and 10% nano-particles were developed. These were characterized for mechanical, tribological and physical performance of friction materials. Performance parameters such as recovery ratio, fade ratio, wear resistance, etc., has been used to evaluate the performance of non-asbestos organic brake pad friction materials. Both testing result of the machine and data showed that almost all performance parameters of brake pad friction materials were considerably affected due to nanoparticles. It has been finally stated that nanoparticles have a potential to enhance performance of friction materials significantly.
