The gradual phasing-out of asbestos in automotive brake friction materials in many parts of the world has sparked the onset of extensive research and development into safer alternatives. As a result, the brake friction industry has seen the birth of different brake pads and shoes in the past decade, each with their own unique composition, yet performing the very same task and claiming to be better than others. This suggests that the selection of brake friction materials is based more on tradition and experimental trial and error rather than fundamental understanding. This review strives to eliminate the cloud of uncertainty by providing an insight into the pros and cons of the common ingredients and make-up used in contemporary dry and wet friction pads and shoes. In this paper typical brake materials are reviewed and their advantages and disadvantages in contemporary brake applications are discussed.
