Manufacture method to foamed rubber member of the present invention describes.
With the rubber substrate foaming is foaming elastomer.Then,, use the processing of infiltrating of the treatment solution contain isocyanate compound and organic solvent at least, form foamed rubber member thus this foaming elastomer.At this moment, the density that makes isocyanate compound etc. becomes thin from the surface of foaming elastomer interimly towards inside.
Wherein, infiltration handle refer to make treatment solution be infiltrated up in the foaming elastomer after, remove organic solvent, make isocyanate compound etc. contain the composition solidified and handle.Be infiltrated up to the isocyanate compound in the foaming elastomer,, form their crosslinking structure in the inside of foaming elastomer with other isocyanate compound, other the reactions such as rubber substrate that contain composition (fluorine based polymer etc.), formation foaming elastomer.Thus, compare, form the foamed rubber member of excellent in wear resistance with the foaming elastomer before the infiltration treatment solution.
As making treatment solution be infiltrated up to method in the elastomerics, can enumerate the method for dipping (dipping) foaming elastomer in treatment solution, to the method for foaming elastomer spray treatment liquid etc.The infiltration degree of depth of treatment solution is suitably adjusted according to the concentration of treatment solution or the intermiscibility of temperature, treatment time, foaming elastomer and organic solvent etc.In addition, during dipping, can adjust by foaming elastomer being flooded in treatment solution to the required degree of depth.
Become thin infiltration as the density that makes isocyanate compound interimly and handle, for example can enumerate behind coating treatment solution on the foaming elastomer, make solidified methods such as isocyanate compound after the rotation specified time.By the rotation specified time, what be infiltrated up to treatment solution in the foaming elastomer contains composition (mainly being isocyanate compound etc.) diffusion, forms from elastomeric surface and to become thin state towards inside interimly.
As other method, can enumerate the infiltration processing of carrying out repeatedly treatment solution being infiltrated up to the operation in the foaming elastomer.At this moment, adjust so that the infiltration degree of depth of treatment solution shoals on thickness direction successively.For example, infiltrate 3 times the time, towards inside, form the position of position, treatment solution infiltration 1 time of position, the treatment solution infiltration 2 times of treatment solution infiltration 3 times from the surface of foaming elastomer.That is, the infiltration amount of treatment solution reduces towards inside gradually from elastomeric surface, and the density of formation isocyanate compound etc. becomes thin state interimly.Wherein, describe as an example with the situation of foaming elastomer 3 times that treatment solution is infiltrated, but the number of times that makes treatment solution infiltration foaming elastomer is not limited especially, can be for more than 2 times or 4 times.In addition, in the operation of the treatment solution that repeatedly infiltrates, all identical treatment solutions can be used, also different treatment solutions can be used.As different treatment solutions, for example can enumerate, the treatment solution that the concentration of isocyanate compound is different, isocyanate compound etc. contain at least a different treatment solution of composition and organic solvent.When using the different treatment solution of the concentration of isocyanate compound,, easily treatment solution is infiltrated to foaming elastomer inside, and the density that can more easily form isocyanate compound etc. becomes thin state interimly by the order infiltration that diminishes with concentration.
And the operation of this infiltration treatment solution can be carried out after the infiltration treatment solution make curing such as elastomeric isocyanate compound once more.That is, can make curing such as isocyanate compound after more than 2 times, or make solidified operation such as isocyanate compound behind the treatment solution that repeats to infiltrate at the infiltration treatment solution.When making treatment solution be infiltrated up in the elastomerics, preferred repeat behind the infiltration treatment solution, to make solidified such as elastomeric isocyanate compound to operate the processing of infiltrating by dipping.This is owing to the strippings in the treatment solution that uses subsequently such as isocyanate compound that can prevent to be infiltrated up to like this in the elastomerics.In addition, when the infiltration treatment solution makes after more than 2 times isocyanate compound etc. solidify, can place the specified time in the back more than 2 times, be cured after making the treatment solution diffusion at the infiltration treatment solution.By placing the specified time, the density that can form isocyanate compound etc. slowly becomes the state of dredging.
Solidified methods such as isocyanate compound are not limited especially, the method that is cured after the following temperature of the zero pour that is cooled to isocyanate compound etc. arranged, by the moisture in the environmental gas, the method that is cured by heat or moisture under reduced pressure behind the solvent flashing,, generally be behind Air drying, carry out heat treated as required.The Heating temperature of this moment for example is 40~150 ℃.
By aforesaid method, the density of formation isocyanate compound etc. becomes thin foamed rubber member from the surface of foaming elastomer interimly towards inside.This foamed rubber member when keeping the mechanical characteristics of foaming elastomer (for example, soft, low-gravity, caoutchouc elasticity), wearability, stain resistance excellence.In addition, for the following excellence of being out of shape.
In addition, the stress rate of rise of the foaming elastomer before foamed rubber member is handled with respect to infiltration is preferably below 50%, more preferably below 20%.If bigger than this value, then the caoutchouc elasticity that had originally of foaming elastomer significantly reduces.
In addition, the foamed rubber member preferred hardness is measured as scope below 40 ° with Asker C.
Foamed rubber member of the present invention is particularly suitable for various paper feedings that carry out paper feeding, transmission in the various OA apparatuses such as duplicating machine, facsimile recorder, various printers etc. and transmits in the charged roller used in the roller of usefulness or the image processing system, transfer roll, developer roll, the conductive roll etc.

In addition, embodiment 1 and 2 bipeltate roller are all unconfirmed in test for contamination a pollution.
Therewith relatively, make treatment solution be infiltrated up to the bipeltate roller of the comparative example 1 in the whole foaming elastomer, can not keep whole roller softness, stress significantly rises as a result, confirms to have photosensitive surface to produce damage in endurance test.
For the damage of the rising that prevents stress or photosensitive surface and to make the concentration of treatment solution be in the comparative example 2 of 1 quality %, stress and foaming elastomer 1 equal extent, in long duration test, photosensitive surface unconfirmed produces damage, but the external diameter variable quantity only improves 1.2 times with respect to foaming elastomer 1, and, in test for contamination, comparative example 1,2 is not all found the pollution of photosensitive surface.
On the other hand, foaming elastomer is immersed in the treatment solution bipeltate roller of the embodiment 3 that repeatedly forms, confirms that stress is about 1.1 times of foaming elastomer 2, weather resistance is brought up to more than 3 times of foaming elastomer 2.In addition, in test for contamination, do not see the pollution of photosensitive surface.
In addition, only near surface has been carried out the embodiment 4 that handles, owing to can keep whole rubber rollers softness, stress is low, and in long duration test, the external diameter variable quantity is also little.But because the amount of being absorbed in is bigger than the elastomeric thickness of handling, in test for contamination, unprocessed portion contacts with photoreceptor, found that photoreceptor is polluted a little.
In addition, have the bipeltate roller of the comparative example 3 of coating, because roller is whole soft, stress is low, and the external diameter variable quantity in the long duration test is also few, in test for contamination, does not see pollution at photosensitive surface.But, because coating is significantly different with the hardness of foaming elastomer,, can not fully follow each other for distortion (rotation), the result finds to have be full of cracks at the near interface of foaming elastomer and coating.
