Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Polymers for Break pad Applications

Non wear out brake emission is one of the significant issue concerns with health and the environment. In brakes performance, wear debris is released in the atmosphere and pollute the environment. The brake pad is classified into two categories mainly asbestos and non-asbestos. As per the report of WHO and Environment Protection Agencies, some of the metals oxidized and produces toxic gaseous. Toxicity leads and creates a bad effect on human health. This work focuses on remedies over environmental and health issues because of brake pad emission. It is important to reduce the percentage of toxic elements at source and develop novel material compositions that are less dangerous to the environment and human health. Also, it satisfies all requirements of a brake pad material as per international standards. From this investigation, we found an alternate material for brake bad applications. The natural fibers reinforcement material is zero toxic. So, the materials will not create any environmental and human health issues.
