The friction-resistant sisal fiber/nano-silica phenol formaldehyde resin composites were prepared through compression molding. To enhance the bonding between the sisal fiber (SF) and polymer matrix, SF were treated with different surface modifiers. The worn surfaces of composites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result shows that the matrix of nano-silica phenol formaldehyde resin can relieve the heat fade of the friction materials. Meanwhile sisal fibers treated with borax have effectively improved the friction and wear properties of the composites when the fiber content was 15%.
