Patent Abstract

The lining (1) has a functional section (2) including a partial ceramic matrix of pyrolyzed pre-ceramic polymers and a friction layer (4) that tribologically co-operates with a ceramic brake disk. Various layers are functioned as a damping layer or thermal isolation layer, and a back plate (3) is fastened to the functional section consisting of a partial ceramic matrix of the pyrolyzed pre-ceramic polymers. Thickness and/or length of a composite and structure of the back plate partially vary for an extraction of local various mechanical and/or physical and/or chemical properties. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a brake lining.
