Oil Residue as an Eco-friendly Brake pad Friction Materials: An Insights on FT-IR and TGA AnalysisPages 448-456
M. Sunil Kumar Hemanth Abstract:
The utilization of natural fibers in brake pad formulations offers several advantages, including reduced environmental impact, improved thermal stability, and enhanced friction performance. Thermo-Gravimetric Analy-sis (TGA) and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) characterization tech-niques are employed to evaluate the performance of these materials. TGA provides insights into the thermal stability and decomposition behavior of natural fiber-based brake pad materials, while FT-IR analysis helps in understanding the chemical composition and bonding characteristics. The results obtained from TGA and FT-IR characterization are crucial in determining the optimal composition and processing conditions for developing high-performance brake pad materials. This research aims to contribute to developing eco-friendly materials including oil cake residues of coconut oil, sesame oil, and groundnut oil for the efficient brake pad materials that meet the rigid performance requirements of modern automotive applications. The TGA analysis represented that these oil residues can withstand thermally up to 630°C and the FT-IR analysis confirmed the presence of distinct chemical compositions and their respective functional groups.
