Used as a reinforcing agent in friction materials such as brake pads and clutch facings due to its high thermal stability and wear resistance. Enhances mechanical strength and reduces wear in composite materials. Applied in coatings and ceramics for improved durability and heat resistance. Also utilized in electronic components and as a filler in high-performance plastics to increase stiffness and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Shows potential in photocatalytic applications under UV light for environmental remediation.
