[Prior Art] Ordinary pressure-sensitive conductive rubber is often used as a touch sensor that takes advantage of the fact that its resistance value changes rapidly with a constant pressure. Here, in order to create a proportional pressure-sensitive conductive rubber that exhibits a change in resistance over a wide pressure range, it is necessary to use special conductive particles. For example, nearly spherical silver particles, metal particles with a large surface area and uneven surfaces, metal particles covered with a semiconductor film, metal particles treated with a silane coupling agent, metal particles treated with a titanate coupling agent. Particles, spherical graphite, a mixture of Grapheye I and carbon black, a mixture of metal particles and graphite, etc. are known.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In order to achieve the same application as conventional pressure sensors, since the pressure range of ordinary pressure-sensitive conductive rubber is narrow, it is necessary to use proportional pressure-sensitive conductive rubber to expand the sensor function. However, the current situation is that various problems remain. In other words, changes in the resistance value of the rubber over time, poor reproducibility due to repeated pressure, variations in proportional curves between lots, slow response speed, and (
This is due to poor personnel management, etc. Surface treatment is sometimes performed to solve these problems, but it requires considerable equipment to perform uniform treatment, and it is also necessary to consider variations between processing lots, resulting in expensive and unstable products.

To this, 8L Si spherical particles with a weight ratio of 200 and a silicon ratio of 40% and a diameter of 50 μm were added, and the rubber material was kneaded with a rubber roll and then vulcanized at 170°C for 15 minutes to form a 0.5-open rubber plate. When we investigated its pressure-sensitive properties, we obtained a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber with excellent proportionality and reproducibility. The pressure sensitive characteristics are shown in the graph of FIG. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, compared to conventional pressure-sensitive conductive rubbers, it is possible to industrially easily produce molded products that exhibit properties equal to or better than those of conventional pressure-sensitive conductive rubber, and therefore the industrial effects thereof are significant.
