“…The findings in this study are in accordance with research conducted by Hossain et al Their results show that flexural strength in carbon fiber/epoxy composites material has the same trend as the flexural modulus [41]. The same results were also obtained in research conducted by Islam et al [42] and Fitriyana et al [43].…”

“…Specimen 6 with volume fraction variations in epoxy, rice husk, aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) of 50%, 20%, 15%, and 15% has produced a higher flexural strength than the other specimens, which is 52.29 MPa. The flexural strength results in this study are higher than in previous studies that produced brake pads specimens with flexural strength of 0.238 MPa [8], ± 30 MPa [44], and ± 40 MPa [43].…”

The use of composite materials in brake pads is becoming increasingly popular due to their high-performance characteristics, including good thermal stability, high wear resistance, and low noise generation. However, the development of new composite materials that offer even better performance is still an ongoing research area. In this study, the composite was made by hand layup method using epoxy resin as matrix material, with rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 as reinforcing materials. The composition of the composites was varied by changing the percentage of the reinforcement materials. The composites were then subjected to several characterization tests, including density, hardness, flexural strength, thermal analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), TGA/DSC, and wear testing. The test results showed that additional reinforcement materials to the epoxy resin matrix improved the mechanical properties of the composites. Overall, the study demonstrates that a hand layup method is a viable approach for preparing brake pad composite materials and that the addition of rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 can improve the mechanical properties of the composites. The best properties produced in this research were found in one of the specimens which used epoxy, rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 with a composition of 50 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 15 wt.%, and 15 wt.%. However, the addition of rice husk also provides wear resistance and thermal stability. This study contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by advancing innovation, promoting sustainability, and reducing emissions in automotive industry applications.

“…This study’s findings are consistent with the research conducted by Hossain et al Their findings demonstrate that the flexural strength of carbon fiber–epoxy composites follows the same trends as the flexural modulus [ 70 ]. Similar results were found in studies by Islam et al [ 71 ] and Fitriyana et al [ 72 ]. Flexural modulus measures a material’s resistance to bending deformation.…”

Brake friction materials (BFMs) have a critical role in ensuring the safety as well as the reliability of automotive braking systems. However, traditional BFMs, typically made from asbestos, are associated with environmental and health concerns. Therefore, this results in a growing interest in developing alternative BFMs that are eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective. This study investigates the effect of varying concentrations of epoxy, rice husk, alumina (Al2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) on the mechanical and thermal properties of BFMs prepared using the hand layup method. In this study, the rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 were filtered through a 200-mesh sieve. Note that the BFMs were fabricated using different combinations and concentrations of the materials. Their mechanical properties, such as density, hardness, flexural strength, wear resistance, and thermal properties, were investigated. The results suggest that the concentrations of the ingredients significantly influence the mechanical and thermal properties of the BFMs. A specimen made from epoxy, rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 with concentrations of 50 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 15 wt.%, and 15 wt.%, respectively, produced the best properties for BFMs. On the other hand, the density, hardness, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and wear rate values of this specimen were 1.23 g/cm3, 81.2 Vickers (HV), 57.24 MPa, 4.08 GPa, and 8.665 × 10−7 mm2/kg. In addition, this specimen had better thermal properties than the other specimens. These findings provide valuable insights into developing eco-friendly and sustainable BFMs with suitable performance for automotive applications.

“…The research database also reports studies conducted to unearth the consequences of natural fibres on the properties of the composite materials for specific applications. One such study was conducted by Maulana et al (2018) to investigate the application of composites in the automobile brake pad. Higher coefficient of friction, mechanical strength and heat resistance value are the desired characteristics of composites for brake pads which is achieved by choosing an appropriate strengthening material such as Cantala fibres, which increased the flexural strength of the composite friction brake pad with increase in its volume fraction.…”

“…The composite material was prepared with Epoxy Resin as the matrix material. From the literature review, it was comprehended that the naturally obtainable Cantala fibres offer good flexural strength of 20 MPa-40 MPa for different volume fraction ranging from 0 to 12%, respectively (Maulana et al, 2018), when used as reinforcement material in composites. In addition to the matrix material and reinforcement material, commercially available pure MWCNT were used as filler material.…”

PurposeThe aim of this article is to demonstrate the development of environment friendly, low cost natural fibre composites by robust engineering approach. More specifically, the prime objective of the study is to optimise the composition of natural fibre reinforced polymer nanocomposites using a robust statistical approach.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, the material is prepared using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), Cantala fibres and Epoxy Resin in accordance with the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. Further, the composition is prepared and optimised using the mixture-design approach for the flexural strength of the material.FindingsThe results of the study indicate that MWCNT plays a vital role in increasing the flexural strength of the composite. Moreover, it is observed that interactions between second order and third order parameters in the composition are statistically significant. This leads to proposing a special cubic model for the novel composite material with residual analysis. Moreover, the methodology assists in optimising the mixture component values to maximise the flexural strength of the novel composite material.Originality/valueThis article attempts to include both MWCNT and Cantala fibres to develop a novel composite material. In addition, it employs the mixture-design technique to optimise the composition and predict the model of the study in a step-by-step manner, which will act as a guideline for academicians and practitioners to optimise the material composition with specific reference to natural fibre reinforced nanocomposites.
