Friction and wear properties of friction materials containing nano/micro-sized SiO2 particles

Purpose – Among the components used for a car brake lining, the chemical and structural properties of the abrasives, jointly with the morphology and size of the particles influence the friction parameters and stability of the composite. This paper aims to investigate the effect of nano SiO2 particles in brake pads on friction and wear properties. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, the effects of SiO2 (Silica) particles of varying size on the friction-wear properties of polymeric friction composites are investigated. Four friction composites were prepared containing (5, 10 Wt.%) micro silica (MS) particles and (5, 10 Wt.%) nano silica (NS) particles. The samples were produced by a conventional procedure for a dry formulation following dry-mixing, pre-forming and hot pressing. Friction and wear characteristics of the specimens against to a disk made of cast iron were studied. Friction coefficient, specific wear rate and hardness of specimens were obtained. Detailed examinations on the worn surface...
