Phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins modified by copper nanoparticles were synthesised by in situ polymerisation process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that nanosized copper particles were well dispersed in the resulting PF resins. The thermal properties of the prepared PF resins were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was indicated that copper nanoparticles remarkably improved the thermal stability of the PF resins at lower temperature. However, the copper nanoparticles increased the rate of the degradation of the PF resins at the elevated temperature. The toughness and the tribological properties of the friction materials based on the prepared PF resins were also studied. The results showed that copper nanoparticles obviously improved the brittleness and the tribological performances of the friction materials.
