Excerpt from the Study
The problem identified by this research is health risk associatedwith the use of asbestos as a friction material and theincompatibility of thenumerous materials currently used in the development of an asbestos free brake pads. Some of these health risksinclude; Asbestosis, Lung cancer, Mesothelioma (a cancer of the linings around the lungs and abdomen), non-cancerous diseases that affect the linings around the lungs and abdomen (commonly called 'benign pleural diseaseas identified by Dagwa and Ibhadode, (2005).Although several alternative materialssuch as; mineral fibers, cellulose, aramid, poly-acrylo-nitrile (PAN), chopped glass, steel and copper fibers have been used to developed asbestos free brake pads,however, the incompatibility the numerous used in the replacement of asbestos brakes is also a challenge. Consequent upon the health risk associated with the used of asbestos and the incompatibility of thenumerous ingredients used in the replacement of asbestos as a friction material, the need to develop an asbestosfree brake pad with only 2 ingredients and still maintaining the recommended physical, thermal and mechanicalproperties of a brake pad still remains a challenge to the engineer which the works sought to address.
