Several new generation friction materials with high energy, high coefficient of friction; good μ-v characteristics and durability were presented. These new generation materials were developed based on fundamental tribological friction interface phenomena understanding through various predictive models as well as chemical and physical characterization methods for friction materials / fluid interface interactions. Such new generation materials include desired characteristics for various wet clutch applications, e.g., wet start clutches, shifting clutches, and continuous slip clutches.
