The different characteristics of PF, YM and BEN phenolic resin serving as matrix of friction material and the modification effects of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber and vinyl pyri-dine rubber on phenolic resin are studied by impact test, heat analysis test and tribological test. Results show that PF can make the fiber match filler better, and the phenolic resin modified with carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber possesses better in...
