Abstract

A brake pad is an integral component of a vehicle's braking system, designed to impart controlled friction and, ultimately, assist in slowing or stopping a vehicle. Their constituents include binder, filler, abrasive, lubricant, and reinforcing fiber. Materials for brake pads must have excellent wear resistance, increased heat dissipation, a consistent coefficient of friction, low noise and vibration, durability, compatibility, minimal environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness. This paper aims to examine the various materials used in brake pad applications. They are composed of matrix, ceramic, and polymer composites, and are manufactured using various processes. In addition to mechanical and tribological testing, there are various methods for testing the mechanical and tribological properties of brake pads. Various instruments, such as SEM, TEM, AFM, and XRD, were surveyed in order to analyse the morphology and crystal structure of nanoscale brake pads. Various applications such as automobiles, railroads, and aerospace utilise brake pads. The study reveals that integrating nano-fillers into polymer composites significantly enhances the mechanical and tribological properties of automotive brake pads, offering a promising route toward more durable, efficient, and safer braking systems. Through this analysis, researchers will gain a deeper understanding of the materials used in brake pads and their adaptability for various applications.
