The Role of Rare Earth Lanthanum Oxide in Polymeric Matrix Brake Composites to Replace Copper.
Polymers (Basel)
September 2018
Article Synopsis
- Current research in polymeric matrix brake composites is focused on finding a replacement for copper, a material now known to pose health and environmental risks.
- The paper investigates the use of rare earth lanthanum oxide as a potential substitute, examining how it affects the properties of the brake composites.
- The study finds that brake composites containing 15 wt% lanthanum oxide, with no copper, demonstrate optimal tribological properties, resulting from favorable reactions during friction that enhance performance at high temperatures.
In this work, a new and effective treatment on bamboo fiber (BF) is presented, and its effect on the interfacial bonding properties of the BF/resin matrix was studied. The interfacial functionary mechanism of rare earth solution (RES) modification to improve the interfacial bonding properties between BF and the resin matrix was analyzed. The hardness and elastic modulus of the interfacial zone between BF and the resin matrix were measured using nanoindentation.
