The present invention relates to a crosslinked fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber molded article, and more particularly to a fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber molded article crosslinked by radiation irradiation to improve compression set and mechanical properties. Fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber has heat resistance, abrasion resistance,
It has excellent chemical resistance, solvent resistance, oil resistance, etc.
Molded into tubes, sheets, films, and other molded products (e.g. O-rings, sealing materials),
Alternatively, it is used for various purposes by coating electric wires, sheathing materials, fasteners, etc. However, depending on the type of fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber, some have poor compression set and stress fracture resistance. The present inventors conducted research to improve these drawbacks of fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber without impairing its other excellent properties. This not only improves the compression set and stress fracture resistance of thermoplastic rubber, but also
It was discovered that mechanical properties, especially high temperature properties, were improved and the present invention was completed. That is, the gist of the present invention is to provide a fluorine-containing thermoplastic comprising at least one elastomeric polymer chain segment and at least one non-elastomeric polymer chain segment, at least one of which is a fluorine-containing polymer chain segment. It consists of a fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber molded product made by crosslinking rubber by irradiating it with radiation. The fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber preferably has a weight ratio of elastomeric polymer chain segments to non-elastomeric polymer chain segments of 40 to 95:5 to 90. A particularly preferred example of the fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber is a chain consisting of two or three types of polymer chain segments, an iodine atom present at one end of the chain, and an iodide compound present at the other end of the chain. one of the polymer chain segments (if the chain consists of two polymer chain segments) or one or two (if the chain consists of three polymer chain segments) case) is (1) vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropylene or pentafluoropropylene/tetrafluoroethylene (molar ratio 45-90:5-50:0-35) polymer and (2) perfluoro( C1 - C3 alkyl) vinyl ether)

A non-elastomeric polymer chain segment with a molecular weight of 3,000 to 400,000, and a weight ratio of elastomeric polymer chain segments to non-elastomeric polymer chain segments of 40 to 400,000.
Examples include fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubbers having a ratio of 95:5 to 60. A preferable fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber for use in the present invention is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 3495/1983. The curved structure of the fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber is, for example, represented by the formula: Q[(A-B-...)I] o [wherein, Q is the residue obtained by removing the iodine atom from the iodide compound, A, B,... each represents a polymer chain segment (at least one of which is a fluorine-containing polymer chain segment), I represents an iodine atom released from the iodide compound, and n represents the number of bonds in Q. ], basically consisting of a chain consisting of at least two types of polymer chain segments, an iodine atom bonded to both ends of the chain, and a residue obtained by removing at least one iodine atom from an iodide compound as essential constituents. Become. Therefore, the at least two types of polymer chain segments are different from each other (for example, the structures and compositions of the monomer units that constitute them are different) from the adjacent polymer chain segments, and among them, At least one type of fluorine-containing polymer chain segment is composed of at least one type of hard segment and at least one type of soft segment.
Preferably, each polymer chain segment has a molecular weight of 3,000 or more, and at least one of the polymer chain segments has a molecular weight of 30,000 or more, excluding so-called telomer regions. Furthermore, in the case where a polymerizable double bond exists in the iodide compound, the residue obtained by removing at least an iodine atom from the iodide compound is a monomer constituting the polymer chain segment or some substituent derived from the iodide compound. It is possible to have These fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubbers usually contain 0.001 to 10% by weight of iodine atoms. However, after thermoplastic rubber synthesis,
It also includes those in which iodine is removed by reaction or substituted with other residues. The radiation used in the present invention is ionizing radiation and has sufficient energy to penetrate the thickness of the fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber. For example, X-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, proton beams, deuteron beams, alpha rays, beta rays, etc. are used alone or in combination. Among these, electron beams and gamma rays are preferred. The irradiation dose is 0.1 to 50 Mrad, preferably 1 to 50 Mrad.
It is 20 Mrad. If the irradiation amount is less than the lower limit, a sufficient crosslinking effect cannot be obtained, while if it is more than the upper limit, there is a risk of deterioration of the rubber. Although the irradiation temperature is not limited, -20 to 100°C, for example 10 to 50°C, is effective. The irradiation atmosphere is arbitrary, but in vacuum, in air,
The reaction may be carried out in an inert gas such as nitrogen, argon or helium, or further in the presence of a monomer. Among these, vacuum or nitrogen atmosphere is preferred. The fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber is molded and processed in a conventional manner, and then irradiated in a conventional manner. Further heat treatment after irradiation crosslinking improves mechanical properties. When radiation crosslinking is carried out as in the present invention, the transparency of the fluorine-containing thermoplastic rubber is not impaired and no coloration occurs. Furthermore, since no crosslinking agent is added, there is no leaching of chemicals from the molded product, which is very advantageous in the food industry, for example. moreover,
It has the effect of being sterilized by radiation. Next, examples and comparative examples will be shown to specifically explain the present invention. Examples 1 to 6 P-24O made from thermoplastic rubber shown in Table 1
A ring sample piece (made by melting it at 230℃ using an O-ring compression molding machine, pressurizing it for 10 minutes, and immediately cooling it with water under pressure to harden it) is irradiated with gamma rays at room temperature at 1, 3, or 10 Mrad. irradiated with a certain amount. The cross-linked sample pieces were then incubated at 100 °C for 24
time, compressed by 25%. The compression set is shown in Table 1. Similar tests were also conducted on uncrosslinked sample pieces. The results are shown in Table 1.
