Additively Manufactured Functionally Graded Natural Fiber Composites for Enhanced Eco-Friendly Electric Vehicle Brake Pads

Abstract The burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market necessitates innovative solutions for sustainable and high- performance components. Traditional brake pads often utilize materials with significant environmental footprints and may contribute to particulate matter pollution. This research paper explores the development of additively manufactured, functionally graded natural fiber composites (FG-NFCs) for enhanced eco-friendly EV brake pads. By strategically varying the concentration and type of natural fibers (e.g., flax, hemp, cellulose) within a polymer matrix (e.g., PLA, PHA) using advanced additive manufacturing techniques (e.g., FDM, binder jetting), we aim to create brake pads with optimized tribological properties, improved heat dissipation, reduced noise, and a significantly lower environmental impact. The functionally graded architecture will allow for tailoring specific zones of the brake pad to different performance requirements, such as a wear-resistant friction surface and a compliant backing. This paper details the proposed system development, experimental setup for characterization (tribometer, thermal analysis, acoustic emissions), and anticipates significant improvements in sustainability and performance compared to conventional alternatives.
