Abstract
The brake pads are one of the basic components for the development an ecological transport. The main objective of the paper is to produce green brake pads used shells as filler material capable to reducing the emission of fine and ultrafine particles resulting from vehicle braking systems. The stages in the development of this goal were: establishing the chemical composition of shells, formulating the recipes of composite materials, selecting parameters of technology, obtaining in laboratory and characterization of new materials in terms of physico-mechanical and tribological characteristics, evaluating their performance compared to similar materials presented in the scientific literature.
