Analyze the future development direction of friction materials in China


With the continuous development of China's automobile industry, brake pads, as one of the key components of the automobile brake system, have also made rapid progress. As the new energy era is approaching, Chinese enterprises must recognize the development situation of the international friction material industry. According to the experts of China Phenolic Resin Network, the following are three important materials for brake pads: first, fiber reinforced materials. As the skeleton material of friction materials, fiber plays a vital role not only in the strength of friction pads, but also in the performance of friction pads. At present, developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States have begun to put forward stricter requirements on the structure and physical and chemical properties of fibers, while wood fibers, inorganic whiskers (barium sulfate whiskers; calcium carbonate whiskers; potassium titanate whiskers, etc.), mineral fibers, ceramic fibers, carbon fibers, various organic synthetic fibers, etc., provide us with a lot of choices, However, from the perspective of cost and other comprehensive factors, crystal structure and water-soluble fiber materials will be the preferred fibers in our future friction materials.
