In addition, the development of revealing along with the eutectic of the toner binder that is used for the electro photography duplicating machine in recent years, developer roll is pinched in order to form sufficient folder, guarantees that toning agent is charged, requires soft.As the material that satisfies above-mentioned requirements, proposed wholely to keep soft by elastic layer, the coating that contains urethane resin, making of containing that the thin cured layer of isocyanic ester consists of, simultaneously the hard developer roll (for example with reference to patent documentation 1) in surface.
On the other hand, the formation of coating has the shortcoming of complex process, manufacturing cost increase, as the means that simply address this problem, has proposed the pair roller surface part and has carried out chemically treated method (for example with reference to patent documentation 2).Although this treatment process is effective, implements the tendency that there is its surface part hardening in the surface-treated conductive roll.Roller through the soft processing, because the distortion of roller surface part increases when using, thus the servo-actuated property with respect to distortion required, but the hard roller of surface part lacks servo-actuated property, also there is the problem that causes resistance change owing to using in addition in the danger of existence damage OPC etc.
So, even the front has also proposed to form surface-treated layer, do not form the conductive roll (with reference to patent documentation 3) of high rigidity yet.But in this case, concrete example such as usage comparison are difficult to the surface treatment liquid to the conductive elastic layer dipping, form thinner surface-treated layer, sometimes can not get the abundant effect as surface-treated layer, can not fully tackle service requirements in some cases.

The manufacture method of effects on surface processing layer 12a is not particularly limited, for example can with behind the impermeable surface treatment solution in elastic layer 12 again the surface treatment liquid that is penetrated in the elastic layer 12 of remove portion form.Specifically can be to be coated with the 1st surface treatment liquid elastic layer 12 being immersed in the 1st surface treatment liquid that contains isocyanate prepolymer composition or waiting to elastic layer 12 with spraying, after the 1st surface treatment liquid being penetrated into carry out in the elastic layer 12 process the first time, this elastic layer 12 is immersed in not contain in the 2nd surface treatment liquid take organic solvent as main body that isocyanate prepolymer composition or isocyanate prepolymer composition concentration significantly is lower than the 1st surface treatment liquid or with the 2nd surface treatment liquid cleans, remove thus the isocyanate prepolymer composition that is immersed in the most surperficial and carry out the 2nd time and process, and carry out that dry solidification forms.
Two stage processing so both can be carried out continuously, also can carry out with the operation of separating, and carry out the 1st processing with the 1st surface treatment liquid after, must carry out the 2nd time with the 2nd surface treatment liquid and process before isocyanate prepolymer composition solidifies.After processing for the 1st time, for make elastic layer whole surface uniform carry out the 2nd time and process, when the remaining organic solvent in elastic layer surface does not volatilize, carry out continuously the 2nd processing when more preferably contact with air after preferred process for the 1st time.
As continuous double diffusion, can enumerate be immersed in elastic layer in the 1st surface treatment liquid after, mention elastic layer on one side, spray on one side the 2nd surface treatment liquid method or use the 1st surface treatment liquid and the 2nd surface treatment liquid is the treatment solution that is separated, elastic layer is moved to method (phase separation method) the 2nd surface treatment liquid from the 1st surface treatment liquid.Phase disengagement method can also be by making elastic layer be undertaken by the method for mentioning again from the 2nd surface treatment liquid after injecting the 2nd surface treatment liquid form layers on the 1st surface treatment liquid under the state that elastic layer is immersed in the 1st surface treatment liquid.
On the other hand, process in order evenly to carry out the 2nd subsurface on the whole surface of elastic layer with operation separately, preferably when the remaining organic solvent in elastic layer surface does not volatilize or organic solvent roughly evenly carry out the 2nd time under the state (partial desiccation state) of volatilization on the whole surface of elastic layer and process.If there is difference in the drying regime of elastic layer surface organic solvent, then exists to produce and process inhomogeneous danger.
Here the 1st surface treatment liquid is the treatment solution that dissolves at least isocyanate prepolymer composition in organic solvent.
As isocyanate prepolymer composition contained in the 1st surface treatment liquid, can enumerate 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), 4,4 '-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI), to phenylene vulcabond (PPDI), 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate (NDI) and 3,3-dimethyl diphenyl-4, isocyanate compound and aforesaid polymer and the sex change bodies etc. such as 4 '-vulcabond (TODI).Can also enumerate the prepolymer that contains polyvalent alcohol and isocyanic ester.

Can also contain the polyethers based polymer in other the 1st surface treatment liquid.Here the polyethers polymkeric substance preferably dissolves in the polymkeric substance of organic solvent, also preferably has in addition active hydrogen and can react the polymkeric substance that carry out chemical bonding with isocyanate prepolymer composition.
As the preferred, polyethers based polymer with active hydrogen, for example can enumerate epichloro hydrin rubber.Here said epichloro hydrin rubber refers to the epichloro hydrin rubber of uncured state.Epichloro hydrin rubber is because it can give surface-treated layer electroconductibility and elasticity, so preferred.The end of epichloro hydrin rubber has active hydrogen (hydroxyl), but preferably has the epichloro hydrin rubber of hydroxyl, allyl group isoreactivity hydrogen in the unit.As epichloro hydrin rubber, can enumerate Epicholorohydrin homopolymer, Epicholorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer, Epicholorohydrin-glycidyl allyl ether multipolymer, Epicholorohydrin-ethylene oxide-glycidyl allyl ether terpolymer or their derivative etc.
As other preferred, polyethers based polymer with active hydrogen, can also enumerate and have hydroxyl or allylic polymkeric substance, such as enumerating polyvalent alcohol, glycol etc.Such polyethers based polymer possesses the group that contains active hydrogen with two ends and compares, and preferred only possess the polymkeric substance that contains active hydrogen group at a side end.In addition, number average molecular weight is preferred 300~1000, and this is because can give surface-treated layer with elastic reason.As such polyethers based polymer, such as enumerating polyalkylene glycol mono methyl ether, polyalkylene glycol dme, allylation ether, polyalkylene glycol glycol (Port リ ア Le キ レ Application グ リ コ-Le ジ オ-Le), polyalkylene glycol triol (Port リ ア Le キ レ Application グ リ コ-Le ト リ オ-Le) etc.
By add the polyethers based polymer in surface treatment liquid, can improve flexibility or the intensity of surface-treated layer like this, its result can avoid the surface abrasion of conductive rubber member, or the with it danger of the photosensitive surface of contact of damage.
In addition, can also contain the polymkeric substance that is selected from vinylformic acid fluorine based polymer and vinylformic acid silica methane series polymkeric substance in the 1st surface treatment liquid.
The vinylformic acid fluorine based polymer and the vinylformic acid silica methane series polymkeric substance that can be used in the 1st surface treatment liquid are the polymkeric substance that dissolves in the solvent of regulation and can carry out with the isocyanate prepolymer composition reaction chemical bonding.Vinylformic acid fluorine based polymer is the fluorine based polymer such as the solvent soluble with hydroxyl, alkyl or carboxyl, such as the segmented copolymer or derivatives thereof that can enumerate acrylate and vinylformic acid fluorinated alkyl etc.In addition, vinylformic acid silica methane series polymkeric substance is the solvent soluble siloxane-based polymers, such as the segmented copolymer that can enumerate acrylate and silicon Acrylote oxyalkyl ester or their derivative etc.
Give material as electroconductibility in other the 1st surface treatment liquid and can also add the carbon blacks such as acetylene black, section's qin carbon black (ケ Star チ エ Application Block ラ Star Network), East Sea carbon black (ト-カ Block ラ Star Network).
Be used for the carbon black of the 1st surface treatment liquid with respect to preferred 0~40 % by weight of isocyanate prepolymer composition.If too many, then can produce come off, the problem such as physical property reduction is undesirable.
Vinylformic acid fluorine based polymer in other the 1st surface treatment liquid and vinylformic acid silica methane series polymkeric substance with respect to isocyanate prepolymer composition 100 mass parts, preferably make the total amount of vinylformic acid fluorine based polymer and vinylformic acid silica methane series polymkeric substance reach 2~30 mass parts.If be less than 2 mass parts, the effect that then carbon black etc. is remained in the surface-treated layer reduces.On the other hand, if the amount of polymkeric substance is too many, then have the problem that resistance value raises, discharge characteristic reduces of charged roller, or isocyanate prepolymer composition is relatively less, existence can not form the problem of effective surface-treated layer.
The 2nd surface treatment liquid is the treatment solution take organic solvent as main body, then is not particularly limited so long as can remove the treatment solution of the isocyanate prepolymer composition that is penetrated into the surface part of elastic layer 12, but does not preferably contain the treatment solution of isocyanate prepolymer composition.When containing isocyanate prepolymer composition, the concentration of preferred isocyanate composition significantly is lower than the 1st surface treatment liquid.
Can be used in the organic solvent of the 2nd surface treatment liquid, the same with the organic solvent that is used for the 1st surface treatment liquid can be the organic solvent of dissolving isocyanate prepolymer composition, but preferably compares the organic solvent that does not more dissolve isocyanate prepolymer composition or the organic solvent that more is difficult to make the elastic layer swelling on operation with the organic solvent of the 1st surface treatment liquid.If use the solvent of the identical or dissolving isocyanate prepolymer composition more than it of organic solvent with the 1st surface treatment liquid or make the solvent of elastic layer swelling, then be not only surface part, and remove as the danger of the isocyanate prepolymer composition of the elastic layer internal contamination that prevents from being equivalent to underclad portion also highlyer, on operation, must to implement accurate temperature treatment or time management.
The above-mentioned solvent that can preferably use as the organic solvent of the 2nd surface treatment liquid in processing that is separated is to the non-polar solvent of isocyanate prepolymer composition as poor solvent, such as enumerating hexane or hexanaphthene etc.Such organic solvent has advantages of and can form thin and uniform top section.
On the other hand, process if need not be separated and when adopting other method to carry out two stage processing, can use the polar solvent of isocyanate prepolymer composition as good solvent as the 2nd surface treatment liquid, equally with the organic solvent of the 1st surface treatment liquid ethyl acetate, methylethylketone (MEK) can be enumerated, butylacetate or N-Methyl pyrrolidone etc. can also be enumerated.When using such organic solvent to process, can form thicker top section, top section is thicker, more can consist of the roller of soft.
For dry solidification, be not particularly limited, so long as being solidified, isocyanate prepolymer composition gets final product, have and be cooled to the following temperature of isocyanate prepolymer composition zero pour, then by the method for the moisture-curing in the atmosphere or after under reduced pressure making solvent evaporates, by the method that heat or moisture are cured, generally behind Air drying, carry out as required heat treated.At this moment Heating temperature for example is 40~150 ℃.
The thickness of top section 12b and underclad portion 12c, suitably adjusts temperature that isocyanate compound solidifies etc. at the concentration of kind that can be by with an organic solvent, the pickup of surface treatment liquid or the 1st surface treatment liquid.
Be arranged on the surface-treated layer 12a of elastic layer 12 surface parts among the present invention, contain as mentioned above top section 12b and underclad portion 12c, in the surface part of elastic layer 12 they are set as one.Such surface-treated layer 12a particularly underclad portion 12c mainly is that isocyanate prepolymer composition solidify to form, and the density of formation isocyanate prepolymer composition reduces the one of (gradually dredging) gradually from the surface to inside.Therefore can prevent that the pollution substance such as softening agent from separating out to the conductive rollers surface, so form the conductive roll to the stain resistance excellence of photoreceptor.In addition, because top section 12a, the hardness that can suppress surface part raises, and has the servo-actuated property with respect to distortion.
Relevant conductive rubber member of the present invention is suitable for the conductive roll, cleaning balde, transfer belt of charged roller, transfer roll, developer roll, toner supplying roller, clearer roller etc. such as electro photography duplicating machine and printer or the image processing systems such as ink jet type duplicating machine and printer etc.[embodiment 1

(test-results summary)
Can confirm to use the surface treatment liquid of phase-separated state to carry out surface-treated embodiment 1,3,4 conductive roll, compare with carrying out in the past the conductive roll of surface-treated comparative example 1, microhardness and resistance value reduce.Also confirmed in addition to carry out with operation separately the conductive roll of surface-treated embodiment 2, compared with carrying out in the past the conductive roll of surface-treated comparative example 3, microhardness and resistance value also reduce.The image of embodiment 1~4 printed matter is good in the picture appraisal after crossing 10,000 on paper in addition.
In contrast, carry out the in the past conductive rollers of surface-treated comparative example 1, cross 10,000 on paper after the roller surface produce wrinkle, the conductive rollers of comparative example 3 also can be damaged photoreceptor, the image of printed matter is all bad simultaneously.
On the other hand, confirmed in surface treatment liquid, to use behind the dipping conductive roll of the comparative example 2 on the sponge wiper rolls surface that is impregnated with hexanaphthene, compare with the conductive roll of comparative example 1, its microhardness and resistance value reduce, and see because the relatively large deviation of the inhomogeneous resistance value that causes of wiping.In addition, can see in the image of print that in picture appraisal density unevenness is even, be evaluated as bad.In methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK), flood the conductive roll of the comparative example 4 in 30 seconds after in surface treatment liquid, soaking roller clearly, its microhardness, resistance value all are lower than the conductive roll of embodiment 2, and when again being impregnated into the roller of inhomogeneous partial desiccation (part still is in the adhesional wetting state) in the solvent, the surface can produce be processed inhomogeneous and can be seen some deviations of resistance value, can see in the image of print that in picture appraisal density unevenness is even.Exceeded more than the required degree by the concentration reduction that is immersed in the isocyanic ester of surface-treated layer in the good solvent methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) in addition, or can see that the OPC that is caused by softening agent pollutes.The conductive rollers of hence one can see that comparative example 2 and comparative example 4, the density that partly has an inner isocyanate prepolymer composition is uneven texture greater than the underclad portion that the density of the top section on surface and isocyanate prepolymer composition reduces gradually to inside.
On the other hand, behind the pair roller coating composition liquid, in butylacetate, flood the conductive roll of the comparative example 5 in 10 seconds, by carrying out the operation identical with comparative example 4 conductive rollers, again be immersed in the roller of partial desiccation state in the solvent, it is inhomogeneous that its surface can produce processing, can see some deviations of resistance value.In addition, can see that in picture appraisal there is crackle on the roller surface, the picture appraisal of printed matter is bad.
To the conductive roll of each embodiment, each comparative example grinding object is estimated again the time, conductive roll such as Fig. 2-5 illustrated embodiment 1~4, there is the zone that raises to inside from top layer in the rubber hardness of its surface part, and forming the zone that its lower floor reduces, surface-treated layer contains top section and underclad portion as can be known as mentioned above.
Shown in Fig. 2,3, can confirm embodiment 1,4 conductive roll, the regional oblique line of its rubber hardness about from the surface to thickness 0.1mm raises, and reduces at its later regional bend.And the regional oblique line of the resistance value of having confirmed embodiment 1,4 conductive roll about from the surface to thickness 0.05mm raises, and reduces at its later regional bend to consist of the inclination impedance layer.Also be the same among the embodiment 2, rubber hardness and resistance value raise from the surface to the specific thickness oblique line, reduce at its later regional oblique line.
The other conductive roll of embodiment 3, or owing to having improved treatment temp, base material expands, isocyanate prepolymer composition be to the reason of internal divergence more, can confirm from the surface to thickness 0.05mm about the resistance value in zone raise largely.
On the other hand, carry out surface-treated comparative example 1 in the past, 3 conductive roll, confirmed innerly to rubber from its surface, form the inclination impedance layer that rubber hardness or resistance value oblique line reduce.
The conductive roll of comparative example 4, confirmed from its surface to thickness 0.1mm about the zone, rubber hardness and resistance value oblique line raise.
