Traditionally, asbestos has been widely used as a fibre to reinforce the special composites required for the construction of traction devices i.e. brakes and clutches. Necessity has proved to be the mother of invention and the search for asbestos replacements, promoted initially on safety grounds, has found not only safer but arguably significantly better materials. Progress towards manufacture has been so rapid that no study of the origins of the improved performance of these organic fibre based composites has been carried out. This work was undertaken to study such composites particularly their frictional characteristics, as model formulations with high volume fractions of aramid fibres, with a view to evaluating their performance and also develop a series of simple experimental simulations for the investigation of the friction generated by brake components generally.
