Effects of process parameters on the properties of brake pad developed from seashell as reinforcement material using grey relational analysis

Over the years, asbestos was used as reinforcement material in brake pads production. However, due to its carcinogenic nature, it has lost its favor and there is need to find an alternative material. In this study, brake pads were produced from locally sourced non-hazardous raw materials using grey...
