Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はゴム組成物(以下、単に「組成物」とも称する)に関し、詳しくは、力学特性等が良好で、かつ、熱伝導性、電気伝導性に優れたゴム組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電気電子部品、タイヤ、ベルト等の各種製品には、その特性に応じて、種々の天然ゴムや各種合成ゴムを基材としたゴム組成物が使用されている。かかる製品の性能や機能は、基材としてのゴム材料と同様に、種々配合されている充填材等の副資材や加硫条件などによっても大きく影響を受ける。
例えば、天然ゴムの補強効果を得るための充填材としてはカーボンブラックやシリカが広く知られており、熱伝導性を高めるためにはアルミナや窒化ホウ素等を、また、電気伝導性を付与するためには銅やニッケルのような金属粉や導電性カーボン、カーボンファイバー(以下「CF」と省略することがある)などの高電気伝導性の繊維状充填材を、夫々配合する等の手法が取られている。
【0003】
しかしながら、従来知られている充填材において、高い効果を得るためには配合量を増大するしかなく、結果として、充填材の均一な分散を得ることができず性能にバラツキが出たり、粘度の上昇や物性の低下が大きくなって成型性が悪化する、得られたゴム物品の力学特性が低下して実用に供し得なくなるなどの欠点をも伴うものであった。
これらの課題を解決する方法として、本発明者らの研究グループは比較的少量の添加によっても高い効果を発現し、かつ、力学特性などの他の性能に悪影響を及ぼさない充填材として気相成長炭素繊維を見出し、基材であるゴム材料に、これらの充填材を配合したゴム組成物を開発した。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、上記気相成長炭素繊維を配合したゴム組成物において、さらにその力学特性を改良し、具体的には幅広い温度領域での動的粘弾性、モジュラス、及び熱伝導率などを改良し、低ロス性を維持しつつ、80℃以上での破壊特性を改良し、前記気相成長炭素繊維を配合したゴム組成物を多くの用途に使用可能とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、ゴム組成物に使用する気相成長炭素繊維を酸化処理することによって、熱伝導性や電気伝導性の向上効果を損なうことなく、力学特性を改良し得ることを見出し、本発明を完成したものである。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】

【0007】
本発明に係るゴム材料は加硫して使用することが好ましく、架橋方法としては、イオウ、過酸化物、金属酸化物等を添加して加熱により架橋させる方法や、光重合開始剤を添加して光照射により架橋させる方法、電子線や放射線を照射して架橋させる方法等が挙げられる。
【0008】
本発明に係る気相成長炭素繊維は通常のカーボンファイバー(CF)(平均直径5μm〜、長さ100μm程度)の10−2〜10−1倍程度のオーダーの微細な繊維状構造体であるため、カーボンファイバーを添加する場合よりも分散性等の問題を生じにくく、かつ、同様の性能向上効果を得ることができる利点がある。本発明においては、この気相成長炭素繊維をゴム組成物の充填材として用いたことにより、少量の添加で優れた諸特性向上効果を得ることができる。
【0009】
本発明において、気相成長炭素繊維としては、特に制限されず、適宜必要性能に応じた繊維径、繊維長、アスペクト比のものを用いることができるが、好適には、平均直径が0.04〜0.4μm、特には0.07〜0.3μmの範囲であり、平均長さが0.5〜30μm、特には1.5〜25μmの範囲であるものを用いる。また、比表面積が5〜50m/g、特には8〜30m/gの範囲であるものを用いることが好ましい。具体的には、市販品として、例えば、昭和電工(株)製の気相法炭素繊維VGCF(登録商標)を用いることができる。
【0010】
気相成長炭素繊維の配合量は、ゴム組成物全量に対して0.1〜20体積%の範囲がこのましい。配合量がこの範囲内であると、所期の性能を十分に得ることができるとともに、混合や成型等における作業性が良好となるからである。また、同様の観点からさらに0.2〜15体積%の範囲とすることが好ましい。
【0011】
本発明のゴム組成物は、ヤング率が0.5〜10MPaの範囲であることが好ましい。ヤング率がこの範囲であるとクリープ性や強度といったゴム物性が良好であり、またゴム弾性の面からも好ましいからである。また、JIS A硬度は好ましくは30〜90の範囲である。
【0012】
また、本発明における気相成長炭素繊維は酸化処理することを必須とする。酸化処理の方法としては、本発明の目的を達成し得る方法であれば特に限定されず、化学的処理であっても物理的処理であってもよい。
化学的処理としては、硝酸、硫酸、過塩素酸又はこれらの酸の混合物で処理する方法が簡便に行えるとの観点から好ましい。これらの酸処理の条件としては、酸の種類等に応じて適宜選択できるが、効果的に処理し得るとの観点から、処理温度は20〜80℃程度、pHは0〜2程度が好ましい。
また、酸化性気体で処理することも好適に行い得る。ここで酸化性気体とは、気相成長炭素繊維を酸化する能力を有する気体であればよく、具体的にはオゾン、硝酸ガス、亜硝酸ガス、硫酸ガス、亜硫酸ガスなどをいう。これらの酸化性気体は単独でまたは2種以上を混合して、使用することができる。
酸化性気体としてオゾンを使用する場合、そのオゾン濃度は市販のオゾン発生器を使用して発生する濃度で十分である。また、硝酸ガス、硫酸ガスなどを使用する場合は、市販されるNOxやSOxなどの標準ガスボンベから供給されるガスを用いることができ、処理温度は室温〜2500℃程度の範囲で行い得る。
【0013】
物理的処理としては、コロナ放電処理、プラズマ処理等が挙げられ、それぞれの条件は、適宜選択できるが、いずれの場合も反応成分を気相成長炭素繊維の表面と効果的に接触させるために、気相成長炭素繊維を静置する条件では厚くしすぎないように、あるいは放電発生場所、プラズマ発生場所に気相成長炭素繊維を導入して反応させる場合には電流などを多く流し過ぎないように留意する。
【0014】
また、本発明における気相成長炭素繊維は上記酸化処理に加えて、カップリング剤で処理することができる。カップリング剤としては、チタネート系、アルミニウム系、シラン系のカップリング剤が例示され、該カップリング剤を溶剤に溶解し、気相成長炭素繊維に含浸する等の方法で処理することができる。
【0015】
本発明の組成物においては、気相成長炭素繊維以外の各種充填材を配合することができ、その配合量はゴム組成物全量に対して、1〜60体積%、特には1〜40体積%の範囲が好ましい。充填材としては、必要に応じて種々のものを選択できるが、カーボンブラック及び/又はシリカを含有することが好ましい。組成物中にカーボンブラック及び/又はシリカが適量含有されていると、気相成長炭素繊維のみを添加した場合に比してより高い補強効果が得られる。カーボンブラックとしては、HAF級のものなど公知のものを使用することができる。尚、ゴム組成物の混合、成型などの手法としては、通常のゴムの混合、成型に使用される公知の手法を用いることができ、特に制限はない。
【0016】
本発明のゴム組成物は、気相成長炭素繊維を少量配合することによって、他の物性を大きく変化することなく、また、成型加工性も損なうことなく、熱伝導性、電気伝導性などの特性の大幅な向上が可能となるために、電気電子部品、タイヤ、ベルト、その他各種製品に幅広く使用することが可能である。尚、本発明のゴム組成物には、ゴム業界で一般に使用されている添加剤、例えば、加硫剤、加硫促進剤、補強材、老化防止剤、軟化剤等、通常のゴム用添加剤を適宜使用することが可能である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rubber composition (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “composition”), and more particularly, to a rubber composition having good mechanical properties and the like, and having excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For various products such as electric and electronic parts, tires and belts, rubber compositions based on various natural rubbers and various synthetic rubbers are used according to their characteristics. Like the rubber material as the base material, the performance and function of such a product are greatly affected by various additives such as fillers and vulcanization conditions.
For example, carbon black and silica are widely known as fillers for obtaining the reinforcing effect of natural rubber, and alumina and boron nitride for enhancing thermal conductivity, and for imparting electrical conductivity. For this purpose, a technique such as mixing a metal powder such as copper or nickel, a fibrous filler having high electrical conductivity such as conductive carbon, and carbon fiber (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “CF”) is adopted. Have been.
[0003]
However, in the conventionally known fillers, the only way to obtain a high effect is to increase the compounding amount. As a result, uniform dispersion of the fillers cannot be obtained, resulting in variations in performance or viscosity. There are also drawbacks such as an increase in the rise and a decrease in the physical properties, resulting in deterioration of the moldability, and a decrease in the mechanical properties of the obtained rubber article so that it cannot be put to practical use.
As a method for solving these problems, the present inventors' research group has developed a vapor-phase-growing material that exhibits a high effect even with a relatively small amount of addition and does not adversely affect other performances such as mechanical properties. A carbon fiber was found, and a rubber composition in which these fillers were mixed with a rubber material as a base material was developed.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to further improve the mechanical properties of a rubber composition containing the vapor-grown carbon fiber, specifically, to improve dynamic viscoelasticity, modulus, and thermal conductivity in a wide temperature range. It is intended to improve the breaking characteristics at 80 ° C. or higher while maintaining the low loss property, and to make the rubber composition containing the vapor-grown carbon fiber usable for many purposes.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, by oxidizing the vapor-grown carbon fiber used for the rubber composition, without impairing the effect of improving thermal conductivity and electric conductivity. It has been found that the mechanical properties can be improved, and the present invention has been completed.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The rubber composition of the present invention is characterized in that a rubber material is used as a base material, and an oxidized vapor-grown carbon fiber is blended.
Examples of the rubber material include natural rubber and general-purpose synthetic rubber such as emulsion-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, high cis-1,4 polybutadiene rubber, low cis-1,4 polybutadiene rubber, and high cis-1. , 4 polyisoprene rubber, etc., diene-based special rubbers, for example, nitrile rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, etc., olefin-based special rubbers, for example, ethylene-propylene rubber, butyl rubber, halogenated butyl rubber, acrylic rubber, chlorosulfonated Other special rubbers such as polyethylene, for example, hydrin rubber, fluorine rubber, polysulfide rubber, urethane rubber, and the like can be given. From the balance between cost and performance, natural rubber or general-purpose synthetic rubber is preferred.
[0007]
The rubber material according to the present invention is preferably used after vulcanization, and as a crosslinking method, a method of adding sulfur, a peroxide, a metal oxide and the like to perform crosslinking by heating or adding a photopolymerization initiator is used. For example, a method of cross-linking by light irradiation, a method of cross-linking by irradiation with an electron beam or radiation, and the like.
[0008]
The vapor-grown carbon fiber according to the present invention is a fine fibrous structure on the order of 10 −2 to 10 −1 times that of ordinary carbon fiber (CF) (average diameter 5 μm to length 100 μm). There is an advantage that problems such as dispersibility are less likely to occur than in the case where carbon fiber is added, and a similar effect of improving performance can be obtained. In the present invention, by using the vapor-grown carbon fiber as a filler for the rubber composition, an excellent effect of improving various properties can be obtained with a small amount of addition.
[0009]
In the present invention, the vapor grown carbon fiber is not particularly limited, and a fiber having a fiber diameter, a fiber length, and an aspect ratio according to necessary performance can be appropriately used. To 0.4 μm, particularly 0.07 to 0.3 μm, and those having an average length of 0.5 to 30 μm, particularly 1.5 to 25 μm. Further, it is preferable to use one having a specific surface area of 5 to 50 m 2 / g, particularly preferably 8 to 30 m 2 / g. Specifically, as a commercially available product, for example, vapor grown carbon fiber VGCF (registered trademark) manufactured by Showa Denko KK can be used.
[0010]
The compounding amount of the vapor grown carbon fiber is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 20% by volume based on the total amount of the rubber composition. When the amount is within this range, the desired performance can be sufficiently obtained, and the workability in mixing, molding, and the like is improved. In addition, from the same viewpoint, it is more preferable to be in the range of 0.2 to 15% by volume.
[0011]
The rubber composition of the present invention preferably has a Young's modulus in a range of 0.5 to 10 MPa. When the Young's modulus is in this range, rubber properties such as creep property and strength are good, and the rubber elasticity is preferable. The JIS A hardness is preferably in the range of 30 to 90.
[0012]
In addition, the vapor growth carbon fiber in the present invention must be oxidized. The method of the oxidation treatment is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved, and may be a chemical treatment or a physical treatment.
As the chemical treatment, a method of treating with nitric acid, sulfuric acid, perchloric acid or a mixture of these acids is preferable from the viewpoint that it can be easily performed. The conditions of these acid treatments can be appropriately selected according to the kind of the acid and the like, but from the viewpoint of effective treatment, the treatment temperature is preferably about 20 to 80 ° C., and the pH is preferably about 0 to 2.
Also, treatment with an oxidizing gas can be suitably performed. Here, the oxidizing gas may be any gas having an ability to oxidize the vapor grown carbon fiber, and specifically refers to ozone, nitric acid gas, nitrous acid gas, sulfuric acid gas, sulfuric acid gas, and the like. These oxidizing gases can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
When using ozone as the oxidizing gas, the concentration of ozone generated by using a commercially available ozone generator is sufficient. When nitric acid gas, sulfuric acid gas, or the like is used, commercially available gas supplied from a standard gas cylinder such as NOx or SOx can be used, and the treatment can be performed at room temperature to about 2500 ° C.
[0013]
Examples of the physical treatment include a corona discharge treatment and a plasma treatment.Each condition can be appropriately selected, but in any case, in order to effectively contact the reaction components with the surface of the vapor-grown carbon fiber, Do not allow the vapor-grown carbon fiber to be too thick under standing conditions, or do not allow too much current to flow when introducing and reacting with the vapor-grown carbon fiber in the place where discharge or plasma is generated. pay attention to.
[0014]
Further, the vapor grown carbon fiber in the present invention can be treated with a coupling agent in addition to the above-mentioned oxidation treatment. Examples of the coupling agent include titanate-based, aluminum-based, and silane-based coupling agents. The coupling agent can be treated by dissolving the coupling agent in a solvent and impregnating the vapor-grown carbon fiber.
[0015]
In the composition of the present invention, various fillers other than the vapor-grown carbon fiber can be compounded, and the compounding amount is 1 to 60% by volume, particularly 1 to 40% by volume based on the total amount of the rubber composition. Is preferable. Various fillers can be selected as necessary, but it is preferable that the filler contains carbon black and / or silica. When a proper amount of carbon black and / or silica is contained in the composition, a higher reinforcing effect can be obtained as compared with a case where only the vapor-grown carbon fiber is added. Known carbon blacks such as those of HAF grade can be used as the carbon black. In addition, as a method of mixing and molding the rubber composition, a known method used for ordinary mixing and molding of rubber can be used, and there is no particular limitation.
[0016]
The rubber composition of the present invention, by blending a small amount of vapor-grown carbon fiber, does not significantly change other physical properties, and does not impair molding processability, and has properties such as heat conductivity and electric conductivity. Since it is possible to greatly improve the performance, it can be widely used for electric and electronic parts, tires, belts, and other various products. In addition, the rubber composition of the present invention includes additives generally used in the rubber industry, for example, ordinary rubber additives such as vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, reinforcing materials, antioxidants, and softening agents. Can be used as appropriate.
