Abstract
Asbestos and non-asbestos are typically the two main materials used in manufacturing of brake friction linings. Brake pads made with asbestos cause health issues during service and difficult to degrade. This research is done in order to develop an environmentally friendly composite brake friction material. Hybrid composite of jute, coir, and glass fibre with vinyl ester resin are used in manufacturing of the composite. This research, initially focus on the study measures of the brake pads shear strength and wear rate as well as the alternative composite material to identify wear rate of natural fiber composites and their coefficient of friction in that area. The amount of wear and the composite thickness can be results in the effectiveness of the composite material and its application for the brake friction.
