Description
本発明の製造方法において、前記液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴムが、液状アクリロニトリル-ブタジエンゴムであることが好ましい。
本発明の製造方法において、前記ポリエーテルゴムが、エチレンオキサイド単量体単位を40~80モル%の割合で含有することが好ましく、ビニル基を有する架橋性オキシラン単量体単位を1~15モル%の割合で、ハロゲン原子を有する架橋性オキシラン単量体単位を5~59モル%の割合でさらに含有することがより好ましい。
また、本発明の製造方法は、前記ポリエーテルゴムと前記液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴムとを含有する溶液から脱溶媒して、固形状のゴム組成物を得る工程をさらに備えることが好ましい。
また、本発明によれば、上記ゴム組成物を架橋してなるゴム架橋物が提供される。
さらに、本発明によれば、上記ゴム架橋物を用いてなる導電性部材が提供される。
以下においては、まず、本発明により製造するゴム組成物を構成する各成分について説明する。
本発明により製造されるゴム組成物は、ポリエーテルゴムと、液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴムとを含有する。
本発明で用いるポリエーテルゴムは、オキシラン単量体を開環重合して得られるオキシアルキレン繰り返し単位を主構造単位とするゴムであれば特に限定されない。オキシラン単量体の種類も特に限定されないが、本発明で用いるポリエーテルゴムは、エチレンオキサイド単量体に基づくエチレンオキサイド単量体単位を含有するものが好ましい。エチレンオキサイド単量体単位の含有割合は、ポリエーテルゴムの全単量体単位中、好ましくは40~80モル%であり、より好ましくは45~75モル%、さらに好ましくは50~70モル%である。エチレンオキサイド単量体単位の含有割合が少なすぎると、ゴム架橋物とした場合における体積固有抵抗値が高くなるおそれがある。一方、エチレンオキサイド単量体単位の含有割合が多すぎると、得られるゴム架橋物を電子写真装置用の導電性ロールなどとして用いた際に、感光体汚染が発生するおそれがある。
本発明で用いる液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴム(以下、適宜、「液状ニトリルゴム」という。)は、常温において液体状態を有する(常温において流動性を有する)エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴムであり、その重量平均分子量が、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィを用いたポリスチレン換算として、好ましくは1,000~50,000、より好ましくは3,000~30,000、さらに好ましくは3,000~15,000のものである。また、本発明で用いる液状ニトリルゴムは、JIS K6300に準拠して測定したポリマームーニー粘度(ML1+4,100℃)が、通常、1以下、あるいは、ムーニー粘度測定不可能なものである。
本発明のゴム組成物の製造方法は、上述したポリエーテルゴムを、0.1~30重量%の濃度で溶媒中に溶解させた状態にて、上述した液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴム(液状ニトリルゴム)と溶液中で混合する工程を有することを特徴とする。すなわち、本発明のゴム組成物の製造方法においては、ポリエーテルゴムと、液状ニトリルゴムとを混合する際に、ポリエーテルゴムを0.1~30重量%の濃度で溶媒中に溶解させた状態とし、かつ、ポリエーテルゴムと、液状ニトリルゴムとを溶液中にて、溶液の状態で混合することを特徴とする。
液状ニトリルゴムを溶媒に溶解させた状態で用いる場合、その溶媒量に制限はないものの、前記ポリエーテルゴムと前記液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴムとを含有する溶液中の固形分濃度が、好ましくは1~35重量%、より好ましくは5~30重量%となるような量で用いる。この濃度が低すぎると、生産性に劣るおそれがあり、一方、この濃度が高すぎると、得られるゴム架橋物を電子写真装置用の導電性ロールなどとして用いた際に、感光体汚染が顕著になるおそれがある。
混合時の温度は、特に限定されないが、通常、0~90℃、好ましくは15~85℃であり、混合時間は、通常、5~600分、好ましくは10~300分である。
このようにして、前記ポリエーテルゴムと前記液状エチレン性不飽和ニトリル-共役ジエン系共重合ゴムとを含有する溶液から脱溶媒(凝固・乾燥等により混合に用いた溶媒等を除去する処理)して、架橋に適した固形状のゴム組成物とすることが好ましい。たとえば、このような脱溶媒を、凝固・乾燥により行う場合における、凝固・乾燥方法としては、ゴムの分野にて通常行われている方法を用いればよいが、たとえば、凝固方法としては、常法であるスチームストリッピングや貧溶媒を用いた析出方法などを用いることができる。また、乾燥方法としては、ロール、バンバリー式脱水機、スクリュー押出機式脱水機などの圧縮水絞機;ニーダー型乾燥機、エキスパンダー乾燥機、熱風乾燥機、減圧乾燥機などの乾燥機;などを用いる方法を挙げることができる。
本発明のゴム組成物には、さらに架橋剤を含有させることが好ましい。架橋剤としては、上述したゴム成分を架橋可能なものであれば特に限定されないが、ポリエーテルゴムと液状ニトリルゴムとの共架橋ができる観点より、粉末硫黄、沈降硫黄、コロイド硫黄、不溶性硫黄、高分散性硫黄などの硫黄;一塩化硫黄、二塩化硫黄、モルホリンジスルフィド、アルキルフェノールジスルフィド、ジベンゾチアジルジスルフィド、N,N’-ジチオ-ビス(ヘキサヒドロ-2H-アゼノピン-2)、含リンポリスルフィド、高分子多硫化物などの含硫黄化合物;が好ましい。これらの架橋剤は、1種単独で、または2種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。架橋剤の配合割合は、上述したゴム成分100重量部に対して、0.1~10重量部が好ましく、0.2~7重量部がより好ましく、0.3~5重量部がさらに好ましい。架橋剤の配合量が少なすぎると、架橋速度が遅くなり、得られるゴム架橋物の生産性が低下したり、ゴム架橋物を研磨して使用する場合に研磨性が低下したりするおそれがある。一方、配合量が多すぎると、得られるゴム架橋物の硬度が高くなったり、架橋剤がブルームしたりする可能性がある。
本発明のゴム架橋物は、上述した本発明のゴム組成物を架橋することにより得られ、好ましくは架橋剤を含むゴム組成物を架橋することにより得られる。
