High friction materials

High friction materials are substances or surfaces that offer a high level of resistance to sliding motion when in contact with each other. These materials are designed to provide increased traction or grip, making them suitable for applications where slip resistance is critical. High friction materials can be found in various forms, including solid surfaces, coatings, adhesives, and composite materials. They are utilized in a wide range of industries and applications, including automotive, aerospace, construction, sports, and manufacturing.

Brake pads are composed of friction materials that generate frictional force when pressed against a rotating surface, such as a brake rotor or drum. These materials typically contain a mixture of abrasive particles, fibers, and binders designed to provide high friction and thermal stability.

Composite materials engineered with high friction components, such as ceramic fibers, graphite, or metal particles, can offer superior frictional properties compared to single-component materials. These composite materials find applications in brake systems, clutch assemblies, and friction linings.
