| In this study, a novel brake pad material is developed from banana peel powder, offering a sustainable alternative for automotive friction applications. Banana peel powder with particle sizes of , , , and are utilized to fabricate the brake pads, with comprehensive characterization such as morphological, mechanical, physical, and tribological properties. Scanning Electron Microscopy is employed to investigate the uniform distribution and interfacial bonding of materials within the brake pad material. Brake pads incorporating banana peel powder of different particle sizes are evaluated to optimize oil resistance, water resistance, hardness, compressive strength, bulk density, and coefficient of friction. SEM analysis demonstrated a uniform distribution of BP powder sizes, ensuring strong interfacial bonding with the resin. The developed banana peel powder brake pads are evaluated on the front wheel of test vehicles under both smooth and hard braking conditions on highways and unpaved roads. Reducing BP size from to significantly enhanced oil and water resistance, hardness, compressive strength, and bulk density, while further reduction to offered marginal improvements. Consequently, a BP powder size of was identified as optimal. The average coefficient of friction (COF) for all BP pads ( ) was comparable to commercial asbestos-based brake pads. The developed banana peel brake pads demonstrated wear rate, hardness, and coefficient of friction characteristics that are compared with commercial asbestos-based brake pads, demonstrating potential for eco-friendly brake pad applications. | ||
