Abstract
An improved reinforced friction material is comprised of a cured friction material mixture of friction particles, filler particles, and binder particles, and has a embedded honeycomb core reinforcement whose individual cells are filled with and bonded at the cell walls to the cured friction material mixture by a novel manufacturing method.
Claims4
A reinforced friction material part comprised of:
- a non-metallic honeycomb core reinforcement having multiple, adjoining, open-ended cells separated by cell walls and constituting a three-dimensional continuous phase;
- mixed friction particles and filler particles contained within said non-metallic honeycomb core reinforcement open ended cells and constituting a three-dimensional discontinuous phase;
- and
- cured organic polymer binder binding said mixed friction particles and filler particles together and to said non-metallic honeycomb core reinforcement cell walls by covalent bonds and electrostatic bonding.
