Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は改質ふっ素樹脂に関するものである。更に詳述すれば本発明は摺動環境下においても優れた耐摩耗性及び耐クリープ変形防止性を発揮できる改質ふっ素樹脂に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ふっ素樹脂は優れた耐熱性、電気的特性、低摩擦性、耐薬品性、非汚染性(クリーン性)等を有しており、これらの特長を生かして産業分野、民生分野の多方面に広く利用されている。
【0003】
しかし、ふっ素樹脂は摺動環境下において摩耗劣化及びクリープ変形が大きいという難点があった。
【0004】
このような訳でふっ素樹脂の摺動環境下における摩耗劣化及びクリープ変形を改善する試みが為されてきた。
【0005】
従来のふっ素樹脂の摺動環境下における摩耗劣化及びクリープ変形を最小限にする改質方法は、ふっ素樹脂の中へ充填剤を加える方法である。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら従来のふっ素樹脂の中へ充填剤を加える方法では、ふっ素樹脂が有する優れた耐薬品性、非汚染性(クリーン性)を損なうという難点があった。
【0007】
本発明はかかる点に立って為されたものであつて、その目的とするところは前記した従来技術の欠点を解消し、ふっ素樹脂が有する耐薬品性、非汚染性(クリーン性)を何等損なうことなく、摺動環境下において優れた耐摩耗性及び耐クリープ変形防止性を発揮できる改質ふっ素樹脂を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の要旨とするところは、原材料ふっ素樹脂に、その融点 10 以上〜融点+ 30 ℃以下の温度下で、且つ酸素濃度100torr以下の雰囲気中において電離放射線を照射してなる電離放射線架橋物で構成され、且つ該電離放射線架橋物は微粉砕処理によりアスペクト比が2以上の微粉砕粒子で形成されることを特徴とする改質ふっ素樹脂にある。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の改質ふっ素樹脂の実施の形態について説明する。
【0010】
実施の形態の原材料ふっ素樹脂としては工業的に生産されているふっ素樹脂ならよく、例えばテトラフルオロエチレン樹脂(以下、PTFEという)、テトラフルオロエチレン−パーフルオロ(アルキルビニルエーテル)共重合樹脂(以下、PFAという)、テトラフルオロエチレン−ヘキサフルオロプロピレン(以下、FEPという)等がある。
【0011】
ここにおいて、PTFEにはパーフルオロ(アルキルビニルエーテル)、ヘキサフルオロプロピレン、(パーフルオロアルキル)エチレン、クロロトリフルオロエチレン等の共重合モノマーに基づく重合単位が1モル%以下含有するものも含まれる。
【0012】
また、PFA、FEPには、他の第3モノマー成分を共重合して得られるものも含まれる。
【0013】
実施の形態の改質ふっ素樹脂を形成する微粉砕粒子はアスペクト比が2以上のものと限定したが、これはアスペクト比が2未満のものでは配向効果が不十分であり、その結果改質ふっ素樹脂の成形体の成形安定性や寸法安定性が悪化するからである。
【0014】
このアスペクト比が2以の改質ふっ素樹脂粒子は、照射架橋したふっ素樹脂を湿式ジェットミルと乾式ジェットミルとを適宜組み合わせて微粉砕することにより得られる。
【0015】
実施の形態の改質ふっ素樹脂 PTFE のときには結晶化熱量40J/g以下で、且つ融点325℃以下であることが好ましい。これは、結晶化熱量が40J/gで、且つ融点が325℃の改質ふっ素樹脂では摺動環境下における耐摩耗性及び耐クリープ変形防止性の顕著なる改善効果が得られないためである。
【0016】
なお、ふっ素樹脂がPFAのときには結晶化熱量が26J/g以下で、且つ融点が305℃以下であることが好ましい。また、ふっ素樹脂がFEPのときには結晶化熱量が9J/g以下で、且つ融点が275℃以下であることが好ましい。
【0017】
(1)示差走査熱量計による熱特性値の測定
実施の形態のふっ素樹脂の下記の熱特性値は示差走査熱量計(DSC)を用いて測定した。
【0018】
a.昇温・降温スピード
示差走査熱量計の50〜360℃の温度範囲の昇温・降温スピードは10℃/minで行い、これら昇温・降温を2サイクル繰り返した。
【0019】
b.融点
融点は2サイクル目の昇温時のDSC曲線の吸熱ピークを融点とした。
【0020】
c.結晶化熱量
結晶化熱量は、まず2サイクル目の降温時のDSC曲線の発熱ピークとベースラインに囲まれたピーク面積を求め、次にJIS K7122に準じて結晶化熱量を求めた。
【0021】
(2)電離性放射線の照射
実施の形態の電雌性放射線の種類としてはγ線、電子線、X線、中性子線、高エネルギーイオン線等がある。この電離性放射線の照射量は1kGy〜10MGyの範囲が望ましい。
【0022】
また、電離性放射線の照射雰囲気は酸素濃度が100torr以下の不活性ガス雰囲気下が望ましい。
【0023】
なお、原材料ふっ素樹脂へ電離性放射線を照射するときには、その原材料ふっ素樹脂をその融点以上に加熱しておくことが効果的である。これは原材料ふっ素樹脂を加熱するとにより分子主鎖の運動を活発化させ、それにより分子間の架橋反応を効率的に行わせるためである。従ってPTFEへ電離性放射線を照射するときには、PTFEの融点327℃より高い温度に加熱した状態で行う。また、PFAへ電雌性放射線を照射するときには、PFAの融点315℃より高い温度に加熱した状態で行う。そしてまた、FEPへ電離性放射線を照射するときには、FEPの融点275℃より高い温度に加熱した状態で行う。
【0024】
しかし、過度の加熱は原材料ふっ素樹脂の分子主鎖の切断と分解とを招くことになるので、望ましい加熱温度はふっ素樹脂の融点より10〜30℃高い温度範囲である。
【0025】
本発明において改質ふっ素樹脂の用途としては摺動部品、半導体関連部品、酸化性薬品用容器等がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a modified fluororesin. More specifically, the present invention relates to a modified fluororesin that can exhibit excellent wear resistance and creep deformation resistance even in a sliding environment.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Fluoropolymers have excellent heat resistance, electrical properties, low friction, chemical resistance, non-contamination (cleanness), etc., making use of these features widely in various fields of industrial and consumer fields. It's being used.
[0003]
However, the fluororesin has a problem in that the wear deterioration and creep deformation are large in a sliding environment.
[0004]
For this reason, attempts have been made to improve wear deterioration and creep deformation under the sliding environment of fluororesin.
[0005]
A conventional modification method that minimizes wear deterioration and creep deformation in a sliding environment of a fluorine resin is a method of adding a filler into the fluorine resin.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional method of adding a filler to a fluororesin has a drawback that the excellent chemical resistance and non-contamination property (cleanness) of the fluororesin are impaired.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of this point, and its object is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above and to impair the chemical resistance and non-contamination (cleanness) of the fluororesin. It is another object of the present invention to provide a modified fluororesin that can exhibit excellent wear resistance and creep deformation resistance in a sliding environment.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
It is an aspect of the present invention, the raw material fluorine resin, at a temperature of its melting point + 10 ° C. or more and a melting point + 30 ° C. or less, and formed by irradiating ionizing radiation in an oxygen concentration 100torr in the following atmosphere ionizing radiation crosslinking It consists of objects, and the ionizing radiation-crosslinked product is in the modified fluoropolymer, characterized in Rukoto aspect ratio is formed by two or more finely divided particles by pulverization treatment.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the modified fluororesin of the present invention will be described.
[0010]
The raw material fluororesin of the present embodiment may be an industrially produced fluororesin, such as tetrafluoroethylene resin (hereinafter referred to as PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro (alkyl vinyl ether) copolymer resin (hereinafter referred to as PTFE). PFA), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene (hereinafter referred to as FEP), and the like.
[0011]
Here, PTFE includes those containing 1 mol% or less of polymerized units based on copolymerized monomers such as perfluoro (alkyl vinyl ether), hexafluoropropylene, (perfluoroalkyl) ethylene, and chlorotrifluoroethylene.
[0012]
PFA and FEP also include those obtained by copolymerizing other third monomer components.
[0013]
The finely pulverized particles forming the modified fluororesin of the present embodiment are limited to those having an aspect ratio of 2 or more. However, when the aspect ratio is less than 2, the orientation effect is insufficient. This is because the molding stability and dimensional stability of the fluororesin molding are deteriorated.
[0014]
The modified fluoropolymer particles having an aspect ratio of the 2 or more can be obtained by the irradiation cross-linked fluorine resin in combination with a wet jet mill and a dry jet mill suitably pulverized.
[0015]
When the modified fluororesin of the present embodiment is PTFE , it is preferable that the heat of crystallization is 40 J / g or less and the melting point is 325 ° C. or less . This is because a modified fluororesin having a crystallization heat amount of more than 40 J / g and a melting point of more than 325 ° C. does not provide a remarkable improvement effect in wear resistance and creep deformation resistance in a sliding environment. is there.
[0016]
When the fluororesin is PFA, the heat of crystallization is preferably 26 J / g or less and the melting point is preferably 305 ° C. or less. Further, when the fluororesin is FEP, it is preferable that the heat of crystallization is 9 J / g or less and the melting point is 275 ° C. or less.
[0017]
(1) Measurement of thermal characteristic value by differential scanning calorimeter The following thermal characteristic value of the fluororesin of this embodiment was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).
[0018]
a. Temperature rising / falling speed The differential scanning calorimeter was operated at a temperature rising / falling speed of 10 ° C./min in the temperature range of 50 to 360 ° C. These temperature raising / falling temperatures were repeated two cycles.
[0019]
b. Melting point The melting point was defined as the endothermic peak of the DSC curve when the temperature was raised in the second cycle.
[0020]
c. The amount of crystallization heat was obtained by first obtaining the exothermic peak and the peak area surrounded by the baseline of the DSC curve at the time of temperature reduction in the second cycle, and then obtaining the crystallization heat amount according to JIS K7122.
[0021]
(2) Irradiation of ionizing radiation Examples of the type of ionizing radiation in the present embodiment include γ-rays, electron beams, X-rays, neutron beams, and high-energy ion beams. The ionizing radiation dose is preferably in the range of 1 kGy to 10 MGy.
[0022]
The irradiation atmosphere of ionizing radiation is preferably an inert gas atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of 100 torr or less.
[0023]
When irradiating ionizing radiation to the raw material fluororesin, it is effective to heat the raw material fluororesin to the melting point or higher. It is activated the movement of the molecular main chain by the this heating the raw material fluororesin is for thereby efficiently perform the crosslinking reaction between molecules. Therefore, when the ionizing radiation is irradiated to PTFE, it is performed in a state of being heated to a temperature higher than the melting point 327 ° C. of PTFE. In addition, when PFA is irradiated with hermetic radiation, the PFA is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point 315 ° C. of PFA. Moreover, when the ionizing radiation is irradiated to the FEP, it is performed in a state of being heated to a temperature higher than the melting point 275 ° C. of the FEP.
[0024]
However, since excessive heating leads to the cleavage and decomposition of the molecular main chain of the raw material fluororesin, the desirable heating temperature is in the range of 10 to 30 ° C. higher than the melting point of the fluororesin.
[0025]
In the present invention, the use of the modified fluororesin includes sliding parts, semiconductor-related parts, containers for oxidizing chemicals, and the like.
[0026]

As can be seen from Table 1, the modified fluororesin of Comparative Example 1 comprising PTFE and titanium oxide as a filler is inferior in non-staining properties.
[0061]
In addition, PTFE having a melting point of 327 ° C. is used as a raw material fluororesin, irradiated with an electron beam under heating at 80 ° C., which is much lower than the melting point, and the modified fluorine of Comparative Example 2 having an aspect ratio of 1.2 Resin materials have a small cross-linking reaction, and as a result, both wear resistance and creep deformation resistance are poor.
[0062]
The modified fluororesin resin of Comparative Example 3, which is made of PTFE having a melting point of 327 ° C. as a raw material fluororesin and irradiated with an electron beam under heating at 380 ° C., which is much higher than the melting point, is crosslinked. Decomposition occurs more than reaction, and as a result, the wear resistance and creep deformation resistance are remarkably poor.
[0063]
Each modified fluoropolymer of Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention to these non-fouling, wear resistance, creep deformation preventing property is excellent both.
[0064]
【The invention's effect】
The modified fluororesin of the present invention can exhibit excellent non-contamination, wear resistance, and creep deformation resistance in a sliding environment and is industrially useful.
