Abstract
A carbon fiber composite material () is provided which includes carbon fibers (), a matrix () binding the carbon fibers () together, and pores (), and a volume fraction of the carbon fibers () exclusive of the pores () is not less than 45% and up to 80%. The carbon fiber composite material () may preferably have a porous structure of which a porosity is not more than 20% and up to 70%. This carbon fiber composite material () has a high static friction coefficient (μS), and low μ ratio, and thus is suitable for a wet friction member (e.g., carbon disc) which is excellent in both of static friction performance and dynamic friction performance.
