Abstract

The invention relates to friction linings for structural and functional elements used in braking systems, especially in systems for motor vehicles. Said friction linings consist of an inorganic composite material which in turn consists of a glass or glass ceramics matrix, inorganic reinforcing fibers and one or more fillers, including one or more anti-friction substances with planar hexagonal structural elements.
