【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は機械や可動構造物の摺動部分に適用し、大気中および水中で使用される摩擦係数が低く、耐摩耗性が高い、ダイヤモンド複合自己潤滑性摩擦材料（以下、単に材料とも言う）に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
機械などの動力エネルギーを節減し、摺動部の寿命を長くするため、低い摩擦係数と高い耐摩耗性を兼ね備える摩擦材料が望まれる。これまでに金属系、セラミックス系、黒鉛系、プラスチック系などの各種の自己潤滑性摩擦材料が開発され、実用化されている。これらの中でプラスチック系は、材料製作のエネルギーも他の系より少なくて済むという利点がある。
【０００３】
従来、ポリイミド−ＰＴＦＥ（ポリテトラフロホロエチレン）との混合樹脂からなるマトリックス中に、クラスターダイヤモンド（ＣＤ）、グラファイトクラスターダイヤモンド（ＧＣＤ）を分散させたもの（高津宗吉、梅田一徳、田中章浩、黛政男：トライボロジー会議予稿集、２００１年５月、Ｐ１８７−１８８、２００１年１１月、Ｐ２３３−２３４）が室温大気中で優れた摩擦・摩耗特性を示すことは知られている。
プラスチック−ダイヤモンド複合自己潤滑性摩擦材料を拡充して用途を拡大するため、各種のマトリックスを研究した結果、ポリエーテルエーテルケトンとポリテトラフルオロエチレンとの混合物をマトリックスとするダイヤモンド複合材料が、ポリイミド−ポリテトラフルオロエチレン系に勝るとも劣らない摩擦・摩耗特性を示すことを見出した。
