Abstract
Heterophasic polymer composites are often used for brake linings. The nature and quantities of the components of the composite have a significant influence on its properties, including, in particular, the tribological properties. Asbestos, which has traditionally been used as an additive to frictional materials, had to be removed from these composites because of its negative influence on human health. As a result, an urgent need arose to develop a new material with properties similar to or even better than those of asbestos. In particular, the new material must ensure an appropriately high level of the friction coefficient and its stability as the temperature rises during brake operation. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain the mechanical characteristics of the brake lining material, particularly its crack resistance. The resistance of the material to microcrack formation and propagation has a decisive influence on the life of facings and thus also on the safety and economy of use of a device.
