Friction pad comprises partial ceramic matrix of pyrolyzed preceramic polymer with embedded fillers and two excellent layers, where former layer is disc tribological cooperating friction layer

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a friction pad made of a partial ceramic matrix derived from a pyrolyzed preceramic polymer, which contains embedded fillers. The pad is constructed in multiple layers: a tribological friction layer that interacts with a disc, a middle thermal insulation layer with function-specific fillers, and a vibration-damping shock layer. The design improves heat resistance, wear characteristics, and vibration damping.

Patent Abstract

A friction pad (1) comprises partial ceramic matrix (2) of pyrolyzed preceramic polymer with embedded fillers and two excellent layers (I,III). The former layer is a disc tribological cooperating friction layer and the latter layer is a vibration-damping shock layer. Each layer includes one or multiple function-specific fillers (3,4,5,6,7). A third layer (II) in form of one or multiple function-specific fillers containing thermal insulation layer is formed between the former friction layer and damping layer. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing friction pad, which involves stacking and laminating multiple layers based on preceramic polymer.
