In manufacturing fixing rollers for electronic copying machines, etc.
A typical method for forming a fluororesin surface layer on the elastic layer of a roller is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-20747. That is, in this method, a silicone rubber adhesive is applied to the circumferential surface of the elastic layer of a roller base having an elastic layer of silicone rubber fixedly formed on a mandrel, while the inner surface of a heat-shrinkable fluororesin tube is coated. After roughening the surface by treating with an etching liquid, a primer is applied, and then a silicone rubber adhesive is applied on the elastic layer as described above. The fluororesin tube is inserted into the elastic layer, the fluororesin tube is contracted by external heating, and the fluororesin tube is bonded to the elastic layer.

However, according to this known method, since the silicone rubber adhesive has a high viscosity, the thickness of the adhesive layer made of the adhesive does not become uniform even when the fluororesin tube is heated from the outside. Therefore, for example, the fluororesin tube for forming the surface layer of the fixing roller is
If the thickness is not 100μ or more, distortion will occur on the circumferential surface of the roller after the fluororesin surface layer is formed by heating, and the accuracy of the roller diameter will drop significantly. As a countermeasure for this poor accuracy, a thick fluororesin tube is used, and if a thick fluororesin surface layer is formed, the flexibility of the silicone rubber elastic layer is sacrificed when used as a fixing roller. Therefore, only low-value fixing rollers with high roller hardness can be obtained.

The gist of the method of this invention has been described above, but in one embodiment, the core metal 1 is made of cast iron, has a diameter of 30 mm, and a length of 30 mm.
300mm, wall thickness 1mm, first add a wall thickness of 0.5mm to this core metal 1.
silicone rubber (Toray Silicone DY32−
376) is molded and fixed, this silicone rubber layer becomes the elastic layer 2, and the core metal 1 and the elastic layer 2 constitute a roller base. Next, as the polymer liquid specified above, fluororubber latex containing fluororesin (Daiel GLS-
213) and apply it to the surface of the roller base,
That is, it is applied to the surface layer of the elastic layer 2 to a thickness of about 30 μm and dried. Instead of applying this polymer liquid to the surface layer of the elastic layer 2, it may be applied to the inner surface of the fluororesin tube described below and dried. Next, the coated roller base was inserted into a PFA resin tube (Gunze Co., Ltd.) with a thickness of 30μ as a fluororesin tube.
Heat at ℃ for 20 minutes. The cross section of the completed roller is as shown in FIG. 1, and an adhesive layer 3 is formed between the fluororesin surface layer 4 and the elastic layer 2 by modifying the dried polymer liquid film.

The method of this invention is carried out as described above, and heat treatment is performed by interposing a dry layer of the polymer liquid as described above between the elastic layer 2 and the fluororesin tube, and the polymer liquid is made of silicone rubber. Because it has a much lower viscosity than other adhesives, it forms a layer with a substantially uniform thickness when it is applied and dries. Therefore, even when using thin-walled fluororesin pipes, a fluororesin surface layer is formed. The outer diameter of the product is almost uniform in each part. That is, when 100 samples according to the above embodiment were taken, the axial length of each sample was divided into 100 equal parts, and measurements were taken at 101 division points including the terminal, the variation in the outer diameter of the fixing roller was 0.01 to 0.02. It was warm in mm.

Furthermore, when the adhesion of the fluororesin surface layer 4 to the silicone rubber elastic layer 2 was tested using a tensile tester, no peeling was observed between the elastic layer 2 and the fluororesin surface layer 4. However, since the silicone rubber forming the elastic layer 2 was destroyed, it was found that the adhesion was extremely strong.

The reason for this strong adhesion is
It is thought to be approximately as follows. That is, in a composition containing a fluororesin, since the fluororesin has the property of particularly reducing surface layer energy, the particles of the fluororesin in the polymer liquid drying layer that have begun to be vulcanized by external heating are As shown in Figure 2, they begin to gather on the surface, melt and bond to form a layer, and the affinity between the layer and the fluororesin tube, which has also been softened by heating, increases and fuses with the fluororesin tube. On the other hand, the silicone rubber or fluorocarbon rubber in the dry layer of the polymer liquid is fused to the elastic layer 2 by heating and vulcanization, and thus the surface layer 4 of the fluorocarbon resin and the elastic layer 2 are firmly bonded by the adhesive layer 3. They combine.

(Effects of the Invention) Thus, according to the present invention, as described above, an extremely thin surface layer of fluororesin with a thickness of several tens of microns or less than 100 μm is formed on the elastic layer made of silicone rubber, and the dimensional accuracy is extremely high. Not only are high fusing rollers provided, but the adhesion between their elastic layer and surface layer is extremely strong;
Therefore, the present invention not only makes it possible to provide an extremely excellent fixing roller, but also eliminates the need for roughening the inner surface of the fluororesin tube, which was essential in the known technology described above, resulting in extremely low production costs. This significantly contributes to improving the performance and productivity of electronic copying machines and the like.
