Multilayer sliding member and method for manufacturing multilayer sliding members

A method for manufacturing a multi-layer sliding member with a sliding layer formed on a backing material, comprising steps of:

• applying binder on a surface of the backing material;
• and
• forming the sliding layer which has plastically deformation, by layering, on the surface of the backing material, at least one sheet of prepreg formed by impregnating phenol resin into woven cloth including PET fiber as reinforcing resin fiber, and by thermally curing a layered body of the backing material and the prepreg while pressurizing the layered body with force larger than maximum load when using, wherein:
• as the binder, is used a low-viscosity thermosetting resin having high compatibility with the phenol resin used for the prepreg.
