Abstract
The current growth in environmental awareness results in use of natural fibers as alternative reinforcement materials for polymer composites. Green composites are being used which are filled with natural fibers due to awareness towards environmental concern. The purpose of present overview is to put forward the various types of manufacturing methods used for the development of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites by various researchers. Also different types of matrices used are mentioned with justification, different properties considered by different researchers to access the performance of NFRPCs are presented to know the behavior of newly formed composite material.Modern friction materials have application in automotive, aerospace and industrial brake systems. The kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy by means of friction provided by friction material. In order to perform this task friction material should have constant coefficient of friction at all operating conditions. It should posses resistance to heat and water. It should posses high thermal stability and low wear rate. To meet these requirements, composite friction materials have been designed often based on experience or a trial and error method to make a new formulations. Selection of Binders, fibers, fillers, and modifiers plays key role in deciding new formulation of friction composite. Listing out these ingredients from literature give rise to idea for selection of suitable ingredient of new formulation which can be acceptable worldwide. Various test samples manufactured and compared with commercially available friction materials in the market are shown. This gives idea about friction materials which fulfills the need of future. Finally, some inferences are drawn from an overview and concluded future research scope that will be helpful to a new investigator in the area of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites and modern friction composites.
