This may be because the transition metal salt promotes the reaction between the unsaturated hydrocarbon polymer and oxygen present in the inner liner or oxygen that permeates through the inner liner. It is done.
- transition metal ion constituting the transition metal salt examples include, but are not limited to, ions such as iron, nickel, copper, manganese, cobalt, rhodium, titanium, chromium, vanadium, and ruthenium.

- the upper limit of the content of the transition metal salt is preferably 50,000 ppm, more preferably 10,000 ppm, and further preferably 5,000 ppm. If the content of the transition metal salt is smaller than the above lower limit, the oxygen scavenging effect of the obtained inner liner may be insufficient. On the other hand, when the content of the transition metal salt exceeds the above upper limit, the thermal stability of the resin composition is lowered, and there is a possibility that generation of decomposition gas and generation of gels and blisters become remarkable.
- a desiccant is mentioned as another component of the resin composition which comprises A layer and B layer. This desiccant can also be particularly suitably used when the resin composition constituting the B layer contains an adhesive resin.
- the desiccant can be contained in any of the resin compositions constituting the A layer and the B layer, but is preferably contained in the resin composition of the A layer.
- the above desiccant is a substance that absorbs moisture and can be removed from a given environment.
- the desiccant that can be contained in the resin composition of the inner liner is not particularly limited as long as it has such properties. Since the resin composition of the resin layer is kept in a dry state by containing such a desiccant, the gas barrier property of the resin layer containing the gas barrier resin can be kept high.

- the body area average diameter of particles having a major axis of 10 ⁇ m or more greatly affects the gas barrier properties of the inner liner containing the resin composition as a layer. The reason for this is not necessarily clear, but it is presumed that particles having a large particle size have a particularly inconvenient effect on the hygroscopic effect or the gas barrier property of the gas barrier resin.
- a phosphate capable of forming a hydrate is particularly preferable.
- Many phosphates form a hydrate containing a plurality of water molecules as crystal water, so that the mass of water absorbed per unit mass is large, which greatly contributes to the improvement of gas barrier properties of the inner liner.

- phosphates examples include sodium phosphate (Na 3 PO 4 ), trilithium phosphate (Li 3 PO 4 ), disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na 2 HPO 4 ), and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH 2 PO).

- the phosphate is usually a powder.
- commercially available phosphate powder has an average particle size of 15 to 25 ⁇ m and a maximum particle size of 40 to 100 ⁇ m. If a powder containing such large particles is used, the gas barrier property of the resin layer of the inner liner may be insufficient. When particles larger than the thickness of the resin layer of the inner liner are contained, the gas barrier property may be greatly lowered. Therefore, it is preferable that the particle diameter of the phosphate powder is not more than the thickness of the resin layer of the inner liner.
- the phosphate powder preferably has an average particle size of 10 ⁇ m or less.
- the average particle size is more preferably 1 ⁇ m or less.

当該インナーライナーは、隣接するA層及びB層の少なくとも一方の樹脂組成物中に金属塩を含むことが好ましい。このように隣接するA層及びB層の少なくとも一方に金属塩を含むことによって、非常に優れたA層及びB層の層間接着性が発揮される。このような非常に優れた層間接着性により、当該インナーライナーが高い耐久性を有している。かかる金属塩が層間接着性を向上させる理由は、必ずしも明らかではないが、A層の樹脂組成物中のガスバリア性樹脂とB層の樹脂組成物中のエラストマーとの間で起こる結合生成反応が、金属塩の存在によって加速されること等が考えられる。そのような結合生成反応としては、TPUのカーバメート基やポリアミドのアミノ基等とガスバリア性樹脂の水酸基等との間で起こる水酸基交換反応や、TPU中の残存イソシアネート基へのガスバリア性樹脂の水酸基等の付加反応、ポリアミドの末端カルボキシル基とEVOHの水酸基とのアミド生成反応、その他ガスバリア性樹脂と接着性樹脂との間で起こる結合性反応等が考えられる。なお、金属塩はA層の樹脂組成物とB層の樹脂組成物の両方に含有されていてもよく、A層の樹脂組成物又はB層の樹脂組成物のどちらか一方に含有されていてもよい。
A層及びB層を構成する樹脂組成物は、上記金属塩等以外にも、種々の成分を含有することができる。そのような成分としては、例えば、酸素掃去剤が挙げられる。この酸素掃去剤は、B層を構成する樹脂組成物が接着性樹脂を含む場合、特に好適に用いることができる。酸素掃去剤は、A層及びB層を構成する樹脂組成物のいずれにも含有させることができるが、A層の樹脂組成物に含有させることが好ましい。
酸素掃去能を有する熱可塑性樹脂としては、酸素を掃去することができる熱可塑性樹脂であれば特に限定されないが、例えば、炭素-炭素二重結合を有するエチレン系不飽和炭化水素のポリマー又はポリマーのブレンド(分子量1,000以下かつ共役二重結合を有するものを除く)(以下、単に「不飽和炭化水素ポリマー」ともいう。)等が挙げられる。
不飽和炭化水素ポリマーは、置換基を有していてもよく、非置換であってもよい。非置換の不飽和炭化水素ポリマーは少なくとも1つの脂肪族炭素-炭素二重結合を有しかつ100質量%の炭素及び水素からなる任意の化合物と定義される。また、置換された不飽和炭化水素ポリマーは、少なくとも1つの脂肪族炭素-炭素二重結合を有し、そして約50~99質量%の炭素及び水素からなるエチレン系不飽和炭化水素として定義される。好ましい非置換又は置換の不飽和炭化水素ポリマーは1分子あたり2以上のエチレン系不飽和基を有するものである。より好ましくは、それは2以上のエチレン系不飽和基を有し、かつ1,000に等しいか、あるいはそれより大きい質量平均分子量を有するポリマー化合物である。エチレン系不飽和炭化水素のポリマーのブレンドは、2種またはそれ以上の置換または非置換のエチレン系不飽和炭化水素の混合物からなることができる。
このような不飽和炭化水素ポリマーの中でも、酸素掃去性が非常に高く、また、当該インナーライナーの樹脂組成物に非常に容易に含有させることができる観点から、実質的に主鎖のみに炭素-炭素二重結合を有する熱可塑性樹脂(以下、単に「二重結合含有熱可塑性樹脂」ともいう。)(分子量1,000以下かつ共役二重結合を有するものを除く)が特に好ましい。ここで、熱可塑性樹脂が「実質的に主鎖のみに炭素-炭素二重結合を有する」とは、熱可塑性樹脂の主鎖に存在する炭素-炭素二重結合が分子内の主鎖又は側鎖に含まれる全炭素-炭素二重結合の90%以上であることをいう。主鎖に存在する炭素-炭素二重結合は、好ましくは93%以上、さらに好ましくは95%以上である。
樹脂組成物は、上記不飽和炭化水素ポリマー(二重結合含有熱可塑性樹脂を含む)とともに、さらに遷移金属塩(上記金属塩を除く)を含むことが好ましい。このような遷移金属塩を、上記不飽和炭化水素ポリマーとともに含有することによって、得られるインナーライナーの酸素掃去機能がさらに向上する結果、ガスバリア性がさらに高くなる。この理由としては、遷移金属塩が、上記不飽和炭化水素ポリマーと当該インナーライナーの内部に存在する酸素又は当該インナーライナー中を透過しようとする酸素との反応を促進するためであること等が考えられる。
A層及びB層を構成する樹脂組成物のその他の含有成分として、乾燥剤が挙げられる。この乾燥剤も、B層を構成する樹脂組成物が接着性樹脂を含む場合、特に好適に用いることができる。乾燥剤は、A層及びB層を構成する樹脂組成物のいずれにも含有させることができるが、A層の樹脂組成物に含有させることが好ましい。
当該インナーライナーにおいて、隣接するA層とB層との層間接着力は、450g/15mm以上が好ましく、500g/15mm以上がより好ましく、600g/15mm以上がさらに好ましく、700g/15mm以上がさらに好ましく、800g/15mm以上が特に好ましい。このようにA層とB層との層間接着力を上記範囲とすることで、非常に優れる層間接着性を有することとなり、当該インナーライナーの高いガスバリア性等の特性が延伸や屈曲等の変形に対しても維持され、非常に高い耐久性を有する。ここで、A層とB層との層間接着力とは、幅15mmの測定試料を用い、23℃、50%RHの雰囲気下、オートグラフを用いて、引張速度250mm/分の条件で測定したA層とB層とのT型剥離強度の値(単位:g/15mm)をいう。
当該インナーライナーの製造方法は、A層とB層とが良好に積層・接着される方法であれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えば共押出し、はり合わせ、コーティング、ボンディング、付着等の公知の方法を採用することができる。当該インナーライナーの製造方法としては、具体的には、(1)EVOH等のガスバリア性樹脂を含むA層用樹脂組成物とエラストマーを含むB層用樹脂組成物とを用い、多層共押出法によりA層及びB層を有するインナーライナーを製造する方法や、(2)EVOH等のガスバリア性樹脂を含むA層用樹脂組成物とエラストマーを含むB層用樹脂組成物とを用い、まず共押出法によりA層となる層及びB層となる層を有する積層体を製造し、接着剤を介して複数の積層体を重ね合わせ、延伸することでA層及びB層を有するインナーライナーを製造する方法等が例示される。この中でも、生産性が高く、層間接着性に優れる観点から、(1)のEVOH等のガスバリア性樹脂を含む樹脂組成物とエラストマーを含む樹脂組成物とを用いた多層共押出法により成形する方法が好ましい。
当該インナーライナーは、上述のように高いガスバリア性、延伸性、熱成形性を有し、かつ延伸や屈曲等の変形をさせて使用しても、クラックが生じにくい等耐久性に優れ、ガスバリア性等の特性を維持することができる。そのため、当該インナーライナーは、各種車等の空気入りタイヤ用のインナーライナーとして好適に使用される。
本発明のインナーライナーは、上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、A層及びB層以外に他の層を含んでいてもよい。この他の層を構成する樹脂組成物の種類は、特に限定されないが、A層及び/又はB層との間の接着性が高いものが好ましい。他の層としては、A層中のガスバリア性樹脂の有する水酸基等や、B層中の官能基(例えばTPUの分子鎖中のカーバメート基又はイソシアネート基)と反応して、結合を生成する官能基を有する分子鎖を有しているものが特に好ましい。

(流出開始温度)
高化式フローテスターを用いて昇温法によって3℃間隔でポリマー流出速度を測定し(ノズル:孔径1mm,孔長10mm;荷重:100kgf;昇温速度:5℃/分)、ポリマー流出速度を1×10-3~5×10-3ml/秒の範囲で温度に対してプロットし、流出速度が0ml/秒となる温度を外挿法によって求め、それを流出開始温度とした。
高化式フローテスター(株式会社島津製作所製)を使用して、80℃で2時間減圧乾燥(1.3×103Pa〔10Torr〕以下)したTPUの溶融粘度を、荷重490.3N(50kgf)、ノズル寸法=直径1mm×長さ10mm、温度200℃の条件下で測定した。
数平均分子量が1000であるポリテトラメチレンエーテルグリコール(PTMEG)、1,4-ブタンジオール(1,4-BD)および4,4’-ジフェニルメタンジイソシアネート(MDI)を、PTMEG:1,4-BD:MDI=1.0:1.2:2.2のモル比で、且つこれらの合計供給量が200g/分となるようにして同軸方向に回転する二軸スクリュー型押出機(30mmφ、L/D=36;加熱ゾーンを前部、中央部、後部の3つの帯域に分けた)の加熱ゾーンの前部に連続的に供給して、260℃で連続溶融重合させた。得られた溶融物をストランド状に水中に連続的に押し出し、次いでペレタイザーで切断して、得られたペレットを60℃で12時間除湿乾燥することによってTPU1を製造した。得られたTPU1の溶融粘度は1080Pa・s、流出開始温度は171℃であった。
上記製造例3の熱可塑性ポリウレタン組成をPTMEG:1,4-BD:MDI=1.0:1.4:2.4に変更した以外は、製造例3と同様にしてTPU2の製造を行った。得られたTPU2の溶融粘度は3210Pa・s、流出開始温度は185℃であった。

TPU1(外層)/9層のEVOH1(A層)及び8層のTPU1(B層)が交互に積層される多層構造/TPU1(内層)の多層構造体(インナーライナー)を以下の方法で製造した。19層フィードブロックにて、共押出機に190℃の溶融状態として各樹脂を供給し、共押出を行い合流させることによって、多層構造体を得た。合流するEVOH1及びTPU1の溶融物は、フィードブロック内にて各層流路を表面側から中央側に向かうにつれ徐々に厚くなるように変化させることにより、押出された多層構造体の各層の厚みが均一になるように押出された。また、隣接するA層とB層の層厚みはほぼ同じになるようにスリット形状を設計した。このようにして得られた計19層からなる積層体を、表面温度25℃に保たれ静電印加したキャスティングドラム上で急冷固化した。急冷固化して得られたキャストフィルムを離型紙上に圧着し巻取りを行った。なお、EVOH1及びTPU1の溶融物が合流してからキャスティングドラム上で急冷固化されるまでの時間が約4分となるように流路形状及び総吐出量を設定した。
