The invention discloses a brake pad made of a composite material. The brake pad comprises a steel sheet and a friction block, and the friction block is prepared from boron-modified phenolic resin, organic silicone-modified phenolic resin, barium phenolic resin, phenylacetylene phenolic resin, epoxy-terminated liquid reaction type nitrile rubber, butadiene rubber, molybdenum disulfide, sisal fiber, bamboo carbon fiber, aluminum fiber, molybdenum fiber, poly-p-phenylene benzodioxazole fiber, zinc oxide crystal whiskers, montmorillonite, vermiculite, nanometer aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium boride, aluminum silicate hollow spheres, graphene oxide, copper powder, carbon nano tubes, nano carbon black, butadiene styrene rubber powder, ammonium molybdate and octaphenyl silsesquioxane. The brake pad made of the composite material is high in high temperature resistance, excellent in heat stability, high in abrasion resistance and long in service life.
