(B)平均粒径が1~100μmの黒鉛 10~300質量部、および
(C)有効量の硬化剤
から少なくともなることを特徴とする。
(A)成分は、一分子中に少なくとも2個のアルケニル基を有するオルガノポリシロキサンである。(A)成分中のアルケニル基としては、ビニル基、アリル基、ブテニル基、ペンテニル基、ヘキセニル基、ヘプテニル基、オクテニル基、ノネニル基、デセニル基、ウンデセニル基、ドデセニル基等の炭素数2~12のアルケニル基が例示され、経済性、反応性の点から、ビニル基、アリル基、ヘキセニル基、オクテニル基が好ましい。(A)成分中のアルケニル基の結合位置は限定されず、例えば、分子鎖末端のケイ素原子および/または分子鎖中のケイ素原子に結合していてもよい。また、(A)成分のアルケニル基以外のケイ素原子に結合している基としては、メチル基、エチル基、プロピル基、ブチル基、ペンチル基、ヘキシル基、ヘプチル基、オクチル基、ノニル基、デシル基、ウンデシル基、ドデシル基等の炭素数1~12のアルキル基;フェニル基、トリル基、キシリル基、ナフチル基等の炭素数6~12のアリール基;ベンジル基、フェネチル基等の炭素数7~12のアラルキル基;3-クロロプロピル基、3,3,3-トリフルオロプロピル基等のハロゲン置換の炭素数1~12のアルキル基が例示され、経済性、耐熱性の点から、メチル基、フェニル基が好ましい。さらに、(A)成分中のケイ素原子には、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で、メトキシ基、エトキシ基、n-プロポキシ基、i-プロポキシ基、n-ブトキシ基、sec-ブトキシ基、tert-ブトキシ基等のアルコキシ基、あるいは水酸基が少量結合していてもよい。
本定着部材は、上記のシリコーンゴム組成物を硬化してなることを特徴とする。本定着部材としては、定着ロールあるいは定着ベルトが例示される。具体的には、芯金の外周面にシリコーンゴム層が介在された定着ロール、あるいは耐熱性樹脂あるいは金属の薄膜からなる無端ベルト等の基材の表裏面上にシリコーンゴム層が介在された定着ベルトが例示され、さらに前記のシリコーンゴム層上にフッ素系樹脂層が表層として形成されたフッ素系樹脂被覆定着ロールあるいはフッ素系樹脂被覆定着ベルトが例示される。本定着部材は、低熱容量で、圧縮永久ひずみが小さく、熱エージングによってもスキン層を形成しにくいシリコーンゴムからなるので、複写機やレーザービームプリンターの定着ロールあるいは定着ベルトとして有用である。
オルガノポリシロキサンの25℃における粘度(mPa・s)は、JIS K7117-1に準拠したB型粘度計によって測定した値であり、動粘度(mm2/s)は、JIS Z 8803に準拠したウベローデ型粘度計によって測定した値である。
<密度>
JIS K 6268に準じてシリコーンゴムの密度を測定した。
<硬さ>
JIS K 7312に規定されたタイプCデュロメーター硬さ試験機を用いてシリコーンゴムの硬さを測定した。
<熱伝導率>
迅速熱伝導率計QTM-500(京都電子工業株式会社製)を用いてシリコーンゴムの熱伝導率を測定した。
<耐熱性>
シリコーンゴムを、330℃の熱風循環式オーブン中に40分間静置して、その後、室温まで冷却した。加熱処理後のシリコーンゴムの表面を目視及び指触により観察し、表面状態に変化が無い場合を“○”、表面状態に変化があった場合を“×”として評価した。
<硬さ変化>
6mm厚のシリコーンゴムシートを作製し、これを間隙4mmのロール間を10回通過させた。その後、JIS K 7312に規定されたタイプCデュロメーター硬さ試験機を用いてシリコーンゴムの硬さを測定し、1回通過させた後の硬さを初期値として、初期の硬さに対する差を示した。
下記の成分を表1に示した組成で均一に混合して、定着部材形成用シリコーンゴム組成物を調製した。得られたシリコーンゴムの特性を表1に示した。なお、表1中のSiH/Viは、(A)成分中のビニル基に対する(C1)成分中のケイ素原子結合水素原子のモル比を示す。
