Embodiment
Therefore, during charged roller constructed in accordance, at first, prepare the axis body (mandrel) that the electric conductor by specified length forms, preparation simultaneously is used for the rubber composition of formation conductive elastomer layer on above-mentioned axis body.When preparing above-mentioned rubber composition,, use epichlorohydrin rubber and/or nitrile rubber as ionic conductivity rubber as the rubber constituent of major component.
In the present invention, as epichlorohydrin rubber, can use chloropropylene oxide homopolymer, chloropropylene oxide-ethylene oxide copolymer and on above-mentioned multipolymer further any one in the multipolymer that obtains of copolymerization allyl glycidyl ether etc., in addition, also can and with above-mentioned substance more than two kinds.
Can also use nitrile rubber separately also with above-mentioned one or two or more kinds epichlorohydrin rubber and nitrile rubber (NBR) among the present invention.
Make the crosslinked crosslinking chemical of above-mentioned epichlorohydrin rubber plasma conducting rubber as being used to, use peroxide cross-linking agent among the present invention.By making ionic conductivity rubber peroxide crosslinking, rather than utilize the sulphur that in the past extensively adopted, thereby make the conductive elastomer layer that obtains and then can make the fatigue durability of charged roller good.
Among the present invention, with respect to 100 weight portion ionic conductivity rubber, with the ratio cooperation peroxide cross-linking agent of 0.7～1.0 weight portion.When the use level of peroxide cross-linking agent is lower than 0.7 weight portion, the crosslinked of ionic conductivity rubber can not carry out fully, the result might make the conductive elastomer layer of gained can not bring into play sufficient fatigue durability, on the other hand, when use level surpasses 1.0 weight portions, might make the hardness of conductive elastomer layer become too high.
As the peroxide cross-linking agent that uses among the present invention, so long as existing known crosslinking chemical all can use.Particularly can enumerate PERHEXA HC; PERHEXA V or PERHEXA C (are trade name; NOF Corp's system) peroxy ketal class crosslinking chemical such as; PERHEXA 25B; PEROXYMON F; PERCUMYL D; PERBUTYLC; PERHEXYL D or PERBUTYL D (are trade name; NOF Corp's system) dialkyl peroxide class crosslinking chemical such as; PERBUTYL E; PERBUTYL I or PERBUTYL Z peroxyesters crosslinking chemicals such as (being trade name, NOF Corp's system); ketone peroxide class crosslinking chemical; the peroxy dicarbonates crosslinking chemical; diacyl peroxide class crosslinking chemical; hydroperoxide type crosslinking chemical etc.Can from above-mentioned known peroxide cross-linking agent, select one or two or more kinds crosslinking chemical to be used according to purpose.

On the other hand, use thermogravimetric amount determining device (thermobalance) with programming rate: 20 ℃ of/minute other samples that sampling is obtained carry out the thermogravimetric quantitative determination.At this moment, (in the nitrogen stream) is warming up to 600 ℃ by normal temperature under blanket of nitrogen, and (in the air draught) is warming up to 900 ℃ from 600 ℃ under oxidizing atmosphere.Weight under the blanket of nitrogen reduces gasification that part is volatile ingredient contained in the sample and the decomposition of rubber constituent causes, it is that the oxygenolysis of carbon causes that the weight under the oxidizing atmosphere reduces part, is warming up to part residual after 900 ℃ as ash content.Behind the said determination, utilize each weight reduce part quantitatively " volatile ingredient and rubber constituent ", " carbon branch " reach " ash content " have a ratio (weight %).There is a ratio (weight %) from what the value that exists ratio (A[weight %]) to obtain of utilizing existing of thermogravimetric quantitative determination quantitative " volatile ingredient and rubber constituent " to deduct volatile ingredient in the sample that is calculated by additive method the ratio was rubber constituent.
So, during charged roller constructed in accordance, use above-mentioned rubber composition, preferably according to injection molding method (module injection molding method), around axis body (mandrel), form rubber composition layer (the conductive elastomer layer before crosslinked).Particularly, dispose axis body (mandrel) on the middle mandrel in having the metal pattern of cylindric molding cavity, under this state,, around axis body (mandrel), form the rubber composition layer to metal mold-in injection or injection rubber composition.Above-mentioned rubber composition layer is implemented crosslinked operation, obtain conductive roll of the present invention thus.The superficiality of the conductive elastomer layer of the charged roller that obtains as mentioned above is very good.Need to prove that the various conditions during injection mo(u)lding and the temperature conditions when crosslinked etc. depend on composition of rubber composition etc., can suitably select.
Need to prove, can also go up on the surface (outer peripheral face of conductive elastomer layer) of the conductive roll of making as mentioned above as required and form protective seam.This protective seam is used to suppress toner and adheres to, is deposited in roller surface etc. and be provided with; for example can followingly form: contain at fluorin modified crylic acid ester resin etc. in the nylon materials such as the resin combination material of fluorine-type resin or N-methoxy nylon etc. and cooperate conductive agents such as carbon black or metal oxide, make its specific insulation generally reach 1 * 10
5～1 * 10
13Ω cm.Need to prove, for example make above-mentioned protective seam according to known coating methods such as infusion processes, its thickness is suitably set according to the size (diameter, length) of conductive roll, but is generally about 1～20 μ m.
Charged roller in the past is in order to control the resistance of charged roller integral body; improve proof voltage (the anti-property sewed); usually between conductive elastomer layer and above-mentioned protective seam, electric resistance adjusting layer is set; but the conductive elastomer layer of charged roller of the present invention is owing to being rubber constituent with ionic conductivity rubber, so do not need above-mentioned electric resistance adjusting layer usually.
And the conductive elastomer layer of the above-mentioned charged roller that obtains has good fatigue durability, simultaneously hardness is controlled at than low degree.
