Influence of Modified Carbon Fiber on Properties of Paper Based Friction Materials

Abstract:

The paper adopts modified carbon fiber with Meldrum's acid and silane coupling agent (KH-550), then add the modified carbon fiber to the paper based friction materials. The paper aims to explore the changes of modified carbon fiber in its surface structure and properties by electron microscopy and infrared spectral analysis, and the effect of anionic microparticle forming retention aid system comprised of lithium soapstone-cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) on mechanical properties and retention of paper based friction materials. Compared with the addition of unmodified carbon fiber to paper based friction materials, the addition of modified carbon fiber with Meldrum's acid, silane coupling agent, Meldrum's acid and silane coupling agent enhance the tensile strength of paper based friction materials. The tensile index of paper based friction materials was separately enhanced by 64.87 %, 91.38 % and 28.88 %. Compared with the paper based friction materials without the anionic microparticle forming retention aid system, the basis weight of paper based friction materials increased by 13.97 %.
