Abstract

PURPOSE:To impart persistent electric conductivity to the surface of a rubber material without changing the nature of the rubber material as a whole by treating the surface of the material with a low-temperature plasma. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a rubber material is treated with a low- temperature plasma by using, desirably, a mixed gas of at least one member selected from among a hydrocarbon, a fluorinated carbon compound and an organometallic compound with a nitrogenous compound (e.g., a mixture of tetramethylsilane with NH3) as a low-temperature plasma treatment gas.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, although only the surface of the rubber material is required to be conductive, the conventional method of kneading conductive fillers and surfactants does not make the entire rubber material conductive. In addition to the drawback that the rubber material itself contains foreign matter, there is a problem that as the amount of foreign matter increases, the excellent elasticity inherent to the rubber material decreases.
