Abstract

They are produced with the desired performance with friction modifiers, reinforcements, lubricants, binders, and fillers used in various properties in brake pads. This study investigated the effect of the use of halloysite nanoclay material used in different sectors as a filler in brake pads. The hot-pressing method produced brake pad samples containing 10–15 % and 20 % halloysite nanoclay. A full-scale brake pad tester determined the samples’ friction coefficient and wear rates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D profilometer analyses were performed on the worn sample surfaces after the experiment. As a result, it was determined that the halloysite nanoclay samples met the desired brake lining properties.
