This study deals with the use of kenaf (Hibiscus canabinus) fibre as a base friction material in the production of automotive brake pads. Asbestos fibre has been used as the traditional base material in brake pads but due to its health hazard, non-renewability, cost, non-biodegradability and difficulty in processing, the use of plant fibres that are biodegradable, cost effective, renewable and user friendly for brake pad production has been investigated in this work. In order to assess the suitability of kenaf fibre in the production of automotive brake pads, kenaf stems of 20 m thick were...
