A Study on the Frictional Characteristics of Paper Facing

페이퍼 페이싱의 마찰특성에 관한 연구

A paper facirig, used for clutch disc or brake lining of the vehicles, is consisted of a combination of cellulose fiber of pulp with assorted filler and friction imparting particles, impregnated with a thermo-setting resin. In this study, as a substitution for the paper-production method, the molding-production method was attempted to produce the paper facings, and their frictional characteristics were investigated. According to the experimental results, it was estimated that the paper facings added with silica (SiO$_2$) have superior frictional characteristics, which is mused by the porosity and Mobs' hardness of the silica (SiO$_2$).
