Slide member for shock absorber of vehicle

A slide member for a shock absorber provided between a vehicle body and a wheel of a vehicle for supporting a piston rod reciprocally sliding in an axial direction in the shock absorber, comprising:

• a back metal;
• a porous sintered metal layer containing a porous sintered metal formed on the back metal and a resin with which the porous sintered metal is impregnated and covered;
• and
• a resin slide layer formed on the porous sintered metal layer and having a slide surface,
• wherein the slide member is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the resin slide layer is disposed on an inner peripheral side of the slide member, and
• the resin slide layer includes polytetrafluoroethylene and a plurality of granular elements dispersed in the polytetrafluoroethylene, and wherein
• each granular element includes two-dimensional crystal layers of molybdenum disulfide and at least one two-dimensional crystal layer of molybdenum trioxide, the two-dimensional crystal layers of molybdenum disulfide and the at least one two-dimensional crystal layer of molybdenum trioxide form a multilayered structure, and one of the at least one two-dimensional crystal layer of molybdenum trioxide is disposed between two of the two-dimensional crystal layers of molybdenum disulfide.
