Abstract

Cow bone resin composites as a friction material for automobile breaking systems have been developed. Increasing interfacial bonding was observed as the cow bone particle size decreased from 850 to 250 µm, resulting in better mechanical properties of brake pads produced with 250µm particle size relative to higher particle sizes investigated. Experimentally produced brake pads with cow bone composites were found to compare favourably with conventional brake pads and those from previous studies; consequently, cow bones particles are suitable replacements for asbestos-free brake pad due to the fact that asbestos dust poses health hazards.
