The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of silane surface treatment on the tribological performance of basalt fibre in a friction composite. Basalt fibre (12 wt%), basalt fibre coated with silane, and Rockwool fibre were used to create three different brake friction compounds. The commercially available Rockwool fiber-based friction material was developed for comparison purpose. Following the IS2742 part 4 methodology, the tribological performance of the samples was investigated using the Chase friction testing apparatus. The silane surface-treated basalt fiber-based friction material's friction and wear performance is superior to untreated and Rockwool fiber.
