With respect.
I am researching car brake pads. If possible, help me.
I tested a few different compositions. Each had their own problem.
The problem with this composition was low initial friction coefficient and high wear rate.
Please help. Thank you
6% glass fiber
2% carbon fiber
8% magnesium oxide
Barite 20%
20% iron fibers
10% zirconium oxide
8% graphite
10% phenolic resin
Black iron oxide 8%
Rock wool 8%
Based on the composition you have provided, it seems that you are researching composite brake pads. The problem you have identified is low initial friction coefficient and high wear rate.
One possible theoretical framework to help address this problem is the Triboelectric Theory. The Triboelectric Theory focuses on the interaction between two surfaces in relative motion, which can lead to the generation of electric charges and the transfer of material between the surfaces. In the case of brake pads, the interaction between the pad and the rotor can lead to the formation of a layer of friction material on the rotor surface, which is critical for achieving the required friction coefficient.
To improve the initial friction coefficient and reduce the wear rate, you could consider the following:
Overall, the Triboelectric Theory could provide a useful framework for understanding the interactions between the brake pad and rotor, and how changes to the composition and manufacturing process can improve the pad's performance.
