Abstract

The high concentration of metallic components in the pad composite improves breaking ability at elevated temperatures and frequencies, bolstering the automobile's braking system. The brake pad operates through friction mechanisms, generating PM 10 and PM 2.5 particulate matter that is emitted into the atmosphere, adversely affecting the well-being of humans and animals. Therefore, eco-friendly materials like natural fiber and organic particles are being used as substitutes for the metal in brake pads. However, natural fibers and particles exhibit unique characteristics when interacting with other materials, presenting significant challenges in brake pad composites such as variations in physical properties, limited thermal resistance, and potential degradation at high temperatures and humid environments. These aspects play a crucial role and can affect the structural strength, wear resistance, and overall performance of composite brake pads, especially when operating under extreme braking conditions. This paper review critically discusses automotive braking systems, the benefits of non-natural fiber brake pads, the process of particle emission formation, the components and manufacturing factors of composite brake pads, and the environmentally friendly qualities of brake pads. This study provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of the presence of natural fibers and organic particles in composite brake pads, which greatly improves the performance of automotive brake systems because they have super physical and mechanical properties, as well as great tribological and thermal endurance. Moreover, eco-friendly brake pads are typically biodegradable, which helps reduce ecological damage, minimize health concerns for humans and animals, and promote a sustainable automobile sector. Furthermore, eco-friendly brake pads show great potential for further advancement in reducing pollutant emissions and enhancing performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the fatigue behavior of sugar palm fibre (SPF)-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites with varying fibre contents (10 wt%, 20 wt%, and 30 wt%). The composites were fabricated using extrusion followed by hot press moulding. Tensile tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM D638 to determine the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and fatigue tests were performed under stress levels of 80%, 70%, 60%, and 50% of the UTS, following ASTM D7791. The results indicate that an increase in fibre content leads to a reduction in both tensile strength and fatigue life, likely due to poor interfacial bonding and fibre agglomeration. Fatigue life was found to be significantly higher at lower stress levels across all fibre contents. These findings provide valuable information about the potential and limitations of SPF/TPU composites for applications involving cyclic loading, particularly in lightweight and sustainable material applications

Abstract

Indonesia harbors considerable prospects for bioethanol fuel generation. Underscoring the imperative for establishing optimal fuel concentrations and appropriate burners to facilitate sustainable energy alternatives; this study endeavored to identify the optimal bioethanol concentration sourced from sago waste for application in Honai burners, evaluating the resultant flame output for domestic energy in Papuan custom houses. This analysis adopted an integration of pre-experimental frameworks along with experimental ones. In the early trial stage, concentrations of bioethanol were thoroughly examined concerning low heat value (LHV), specific gravity, viscosity, gas chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis to identify the best fuel characteristics. Following this, the experimental phase assessed flame characteristics, encompassing temperature, fuel mass flow rate, and emissions from combustion gases within the Honai burner. Pre-experimental findings suggest that an 80 % bioethanol concentration is ideal for the Honai burner, displaying a viscosity of 1.03 cP, a density of 0.82 g·L⁻¹, a gas chromatography content of 61.04 %, an LHV of 16.166 MJ/kg, and a heat release rate of 140 kW·m⁻². The experimental phase indicates that a 14-hole burner oriented at a 45° angle yields optimal performance, achieving stable flame temperatures between 480 °C and 750 °C with a fuel flow rate of 60 mL·min⁻¹. Analysis of combustion gases indicates minimal emissions, with carbon monoxide (CO) registering at 0.01 %, carbon dioxide (CO₂) at 0.2 %, and hydrocarbons (HC) at 27 ppm. In summary, this study offers a feasible approach to addressing energy challenges, meeting demand, enhancing accessibility, ensuring availability, and promoting regional energy autonomy for Papuan households in remote locales through the utilization of bioethanol derived from sago dregs in Honai burner cooking devices.
