OK, it's been a while since I was last here but I figured there was no better place to turn to. Anyways, I've been trying my best to find out exactly how brake pads are made, types of materials used, different ways of manufacturing and exactly which chemical compounds go into them. So far all I've found through google are what brake pads do, different possible braking system designs and plenty of how to's on changing them out. What I'm more interested in is the manufacturing of the pads and all that goes into them. I've got some brainstorming that requires me to learn a lot more about pads than I currently know. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
