[0037] The regulator includes one or more of alumina, kaolin, calcium sulfate whisker, carbon black, diatomaceous earth, graphite, black rubber powder, sublimated sulfur, nitrile rubber, hematite, barite, and limestone.

[0038] This invention primarily utilizes CMC / fluorosilane for synergistic, non-destructive modification of carbon fibers, and uses the modified carbon fibers in the preparation of carbon fiber-reinforced resin-based friction materials. CMC forms a thin film rich in reactive groups, such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, on the carbon fiber surface. These groups provide numerous attachment sites for fluorosilane grafting, effectively reducing the material's surface energy. The synergistic grafting modification of carbon fibers with CMC and fluorosilane reduces the material's surface energy without compromising fiber strength, minimizing adhesion between the friction material, the mating pair, and abrasive particles, and improving the friction and wear performance of carbon fiber-reinforced resin-based materials.

[0039] The thermosetting resin includes one or more of modified phenolic resin, epoxy resin, cyanate ester, bismaleimide, and vinyl ester.

[0045] dissolving fluorosilane in acetone to obtain a fluorosilane-acetone solution;

[0046] The activated carbon fibers were immersed in a fluorosilane-acetone solution, and then ammonia water was added and stirred for 2 to 8 hours, and then the solvent was removed to obtain modified carbon fibers.

[0047] The concentration of the fluorosilane-acetone solution is 1-10 g / L.

[0048] The amount of ammonia water added is 1 ml of ammonia water to every 20-60 ml of fluorosilane-acetone solution; after adding ammonia water and stirring, the solvent is removed to obtain the modified carbon fiber.

[0049] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a CMC / fluorosilane synergistically non-destructively modified carbon fiber reinforced resin-based friction material, comprising the following steps:

[0050] Weigh thermosetting resin, modified carbon fiber and regulator according to proportion, mix and stir to obtain a mixture;

[0051] The mixture is placed in a mold, and after hot pressing, curing and heat treatment, a CMC / fluorosilane synergistically non-destructive modified carbon fiber reinforced resin-based friction material is obtained.

[0053] During the heat treatment process, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 100-130°C for 20-30 minutes and then kept warm for 40-60 minutes; the temperature is further raised to 160-180°C for 20-30 minutes and kept warm for 70-90 minutes; the temperature is further raised to 185-190°C for 5-20 minutes and kept warm for 30-40 minutes; the temperature is further raised to 195-200°C for 20-30 minutes and kept warm for 50-80 minutes, and finally cooled to room temperature in a blast drying oven.

[0054] The preparation method provided by the present invention is simple and has a short cycle, avoiding the damage to carbon fiber caused by traditional activation methods (nitric acid etching, high-temperature oxidation, etc.). The modified low-surface-energy carbon fiber reduces the adhesion of the material to wear debris during the friction process, improves the friction stability of the material, and significantly reduces the wear rate of the friction material and metal.

[0091] Step 2: Accurately weigh 20g of modified carbon fiber, 15g of cashew nut shell liquid-modified phenolic resin, 5g of aramid pulp, 1g of carbon black, 7g of nitrile rubber, 1g of sublimed sulfur, 5g of calcined alumina, 10g of barite, 20g of fluorite, and 16g of limestone. Place the above raw materials in a high-speed mixer and mix them at 2000 rpm for 5 times, each time for 3 seconds, with a 5-minute interval between two mixings to obtain a mixture;

[0092] Step 3, weigh 15.44 g of the mixture obtained in step 4 and place it in a mold, place it on a hot press, set the pressure to 5 MPa, the temperature to 170°C, the hot pressing time to 10 min, release the air once every 50 seconds during hot pressing curing, and release the air once every 100 seconds after 400 seconds, and obtain a semi-finished product after hot pressing curing; place the semi-finished product in an electric hot air drying oven for heat treatment, the procedure is: start from room temperature to 125°C for 20 minutes and then keep warm for 50 minutes; continue to heat up to 170°C for 20 minutes and keep warm for 80 minutes; continue to heat up to 185°C for 10 minutes and keep warm for 35 minutes; heat up to 200°C for another 20 minutes and keep warm for 60 minutes, and finally cool to room temperature with a blast drying oven to obtain a modified carbon fiber reinforced resin-based friction material.

[0093] In order to illustrate the relevant performance of the friction material provided by the present invention, it is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0094] from Figure 1 It can be seen that compared with the control example, the wear rate of the carbon fiber reinforced resin-based friction material and the metal counterpart is significantly reduced after the synergistic non-destructive modification of CMC / fluorosilane, showing good friction and wear performance and protection for the metal counterpart.

[0095] from Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with the control example, the surface energy of the carbon fiber reinforced resin-based friction material after CMC / fluorosilane synergistic non-destructive modification is significantly reduced, and is consistent with the law of decreasing wear rate, indicating that the reduction in surface energy improves the friction and wear properties of the material.

[0096] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the introduction of CMC and fluorosilane enhances the bonding ability between carbon fiber and resin matrix and reduces the surface energy of the material without damaging the strength of carbon fiber, thereby reducing the generation of abrasive particles during friction and wear and avoiding the plowing effect of hard abrasive particles on the metal dual surface.
