REINFORCED FIBROUS POLYACRYLONITRILE MIXTURE FOR FRICTION PRODUCT AND ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

An improved fibrous polyacrylonitrile mixture for use in friction products enables the production of low resiliency preforms by mixing an additive with a polyacrylonitrile wet gel. The additive is incorporated into the fiber in extremely large amounts. The additive is a member selected from the group consisting of: (a) polyethylene glycol ester of pelargonic acid; or (b) polyethylene glycol esters of enanthic, caprylic or capric acids; or (c) blends of polyethylene glycol esters of enanthic, caprylic, pelargonic, or capric acids; or (d) blends of polyethylene glycol esters of carboxylic acids derived from natural products containing at least 50% by weight of carboxylic acids containing less than 14 carbon atoms; or (e) reaction products of ethylene oxide and carboxylic acid amides wherein at least 70% of the acids from which the amide is derived contain between 16 and 20 carbon atoms. ;
