Non-metallic materials such as composite materials are one of the emerging materials that are used in the various component in automotive industries. The major problem of the brake component that requires frequent maintenance is solved by using the ceramic matrix composite (CMC). This composite brake pad was invented from a mixture of ceramic and metals, able to exceed the organic and metal-based brake pad. Nowadays, there is more research focused on the mixture of fiber materials such as natural fibers, nanofiber, and carbon fibers as the replacement of the metal component in the ceramic-based composite brake pad. Ceramic and carbon fibers based composite brake pad are more lightweight and have comparable performance to the ceramic and metal-based composite brake pads. Give different composite materials and its application (except ceramic-based composite brake pads) that are used in the automotive industries. State 4 (FOUR) advantages of the selected composite materials such as cost, weight, safety, performance, strength, etc. Describe how the composite materials are fabricated or manufactured, and explain their structure or design and the component of the composite material. Finally, compared the current composite materials to the previously used materials, why the composite materials are more prominent than the conventional materials?
