Ending the fossil fuel era towards a sustainable future will require high-performing
renewable materials with a low environmental impact. Carbon black, produced by partial …

Highly order-structured carbon-based materials such as graphite, graphene, and carbon
nanotubes hold promise in delivering the next generation of carbon-based advanced …

Sugar palm fiber (SPF) is one of the prospective fibers used to reinforce polymer
composites. The aim of this study is to evaluate the physicochemical, thermal, and …

The paper addresses the potential application of jute fibers in combination with powderized
hazelnut shells as natural and biodegradable fillers in non-asbestos organic (NAO) friction …

The present study deals with the effective usage of crab shell, which is a solid waste in the
seafood industry. The crab shell was powdered and treated with chemicals to obtain the …

In this study, plastic [polyethylene terephthalate (PET)] waste was recycled as raw material
for the preparation of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A‐type epoxy composite materials. The …

The paper addresses utilization of 0–14.6 vol.% alkaline-treated walnut shell powders
(WSPs) as a functional filler in the proposed eco-friendly brake friction materials. Five non …

The effect of the steel fiber length on the friction performance and wear mechanism of brake
shoes is characterized. Friction tests were run on a full-scale railway dynamometer, and the …

This research aims to study the usage of natural fibers as composite reinforcement and their
effects on mechanical properties. Because asbestos fibers have negative impacts on the …

The influence of glass fibers' length and morphology on the friction performance and wear
mechanism of railway brake shoes was studied. The friction characterization was done on a …
