COMPOSITION FOR USE IN FRICTION MATERIALS AND ARTICOMPOSITION FOR USE IN FRICTION MATERIALS AND ARTICLES FORMED THEREFROM CLES FORMED THEREFROM

摘要

A composition containing a matrix, a fiber, a filler; and a friction modifier; wherein an effective amount of at least one of said components selected from the group consisting of fiber, filler, friction modifier and combinations thereof are cure promoting compounds having an effective aspect ratio such that the composition is rapidly cured in the presence of electromagnetic energy, and a process for curing such compositions. Articles comprised of this composition are suitable for use in the production of friction materials, such as brake pads, drum linings, and clutches.
