  By Mitali B. Gore, Ajit A. Bhosale, Deepak S. Watvisave, Ravikant K. Nanwatkar

  Abstract: The search for natural fiber-reinforced composites that can be used instead of manmade materials has been sparked by the growing need for eco-friendly materials in car brake systems. The study looks at three types of Walnut–Hemp Reinforced Friction Composites (WFRCs): WFRC-1, which is 10% walnut and 20% hemp; WFRC-2, which is 15% walnut and 15% hemp; and WFRC-3, which is 20% walnut and 10% hemp. Aspects like tensile strength, compressive …
