Abstract
A disk brake pad (11) comprising a supporting base (13) with which a layer (15) of friction material is associated, characterized in that a wall (19) of said supporting base having associated therewith the layer of friction material is passed through by at least one channel (21, 23, 41) communicating with a chamber (17a, b), defined in correspondence of the supporting base, for collecting the powders produced due to the wear of the friction material.

A disk brake pad comprising a supporting base with which a layer of friction material is associated, characterized in that a wall of said supporting base having associated therewith the layer of friction material is passed through by at least one channel communicating with a chamber, defined in correspondence of the supporting base, for collecting the powders produced due to the wear of the friction material.
Method for collecting powders generated by a brake pad of a vehicle brake system, comprising the step of providing at least one chamber associated with a brake pad, wherein a magnetic field is generated in or for the at least one chamber, attracting powder resulting from friction on the brake pad and collecting said powder inside said at least one chamber.
