what kind of composite material is used in the 'ceramic brakes' that porsche uses?
who supplies this material?
 
Carbon-Ceramic brake discs using a carbon fiber reinforced ceramic silicon carbide composite:

Porsche is currently using this type of brake on the 911. The new ceramic composite brake disc is perforated and internally ventilated, like the conventional metal brake disc, but weighs 50 % less.
