Sliding member
A sliding member according to the present disclosure contains, in a sliding layer, a synthetic resin, a solid lubricant, and an additive. The synthetic resin is a polyimide, a polyamide imide, a polybenzimidazole, a polyphenyl sulfone, a polyether sulfone, a polyether ether ketone, or a combination thereof. The solid lubricant is a polytetrafluoroethylene, a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkoxyethylene copolymer, molybdenum disulfide, a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, or a combination thereof. The contained amount of the solid lubricant in the sliding layer is 5.0-40.0 vol. %. The additive is bentonite, smectite clay mineral, silica, a polyamide, or a combination thereof. The contained amount of the additive in the sliding layer is 0.1-9.0 vol. %.
