  • the carbide nanomaterial introduces asperities of increased hardness and heat resistance at the friction surface, and possibly accounts for their enhancing effect.
  • the inventor also believes that the disclosed composite friction materials are more environmentally friendly as compared to prior art materials.
  • the high specific gravity of the carbide nanomaterial (for example 3-15 gm/cm J ) tends to substantially reduce air borne brake dust.
  • the carbide nanoparticles Unlike the bulk of the fiber and polymer matrix composite, the carbide nanoparticles have an extremely high surface area per mass of material. In addition the partic!es have a high hardness value relative to the balance of composite. These factors result in higher coefficients of friction and increased heat resistance which reduces the tendency of an applied brake to "fade" in its effectiveness as it stops.
