the purpose of this paper is to study the effect of morphology of potassium titanates on the friction characteristics in the NAO(Non Asbestos Organic) brake pad. 3 potassium titanates are selected and test pieces are manufactured by hot press forming. It is observed physical properties and friction performance as density, hardness, average coefficient of friction, fade, wear etc. In fade, the coefficient of friction of non fiberous potassium titanates is more stable than that of fiberous potassium titanate. In wear and disc roughness, fiberous potassium titanate is better than non fiberous potassium titanates.
