    Abstract: Method of moulding a fibre-reinforced thermosetting resin to form a moulded article, the method comprising the steps of (a) reactively compounding a thermosetting resin in a compounding apparatus to form a plurality of pieces of a compounded thermosetting resin; (b) directly inputting these pieces into an extrusion apparatus; (c) adding reinforcement fibres to the compounded thermosetting resin to form a fibre-containing compounded thermosetting resin, the reinforcement fibres being added to the resin in the compounding apparatus before step (b) so that the pieces comprise fibre-containing compounded thermosetting resin and/or in the extrusion apparatus after step (b); (d) in the extrusion apparatus, forming a body of the fibre-containing compounded thermosetting resin and extruding a continuous elongate extruded length of the resin; (e) cutting a section of the continuous elongate extruded length to form a preform of the resin; (f) directly transporting the preform to a moulding machine comprising a ram and a mould tool; and (g) injecting the resin into the mould tool to form a moulded article.

    Abstract: A brake pad comprising a layer of friction material integrally moulded with a backing plate, wherein the backing plate comprises an electroconductive member moulded within a plate of a fibre-reinforced polymer resin, the electroconductive member extending along a plate direction, the backing plate having a front surface forming an interface with a rear surface of the layer of friction material, wherein the electroconductive member is profiled in a thickness direction of the backing plate to provide at least one projection extending towards the interface or into the layer of friction material and arranged to function as a wear indicator for the brake pad. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing the brake pad.
