[0047] The polyolefin resin used as a precursor may be a polymer composed solely of repeating units derived from olefin monomers, or it may be a copolymer having repeating units derived from olefin monomers as well as repeating units derived from monomers other than olefin monomers.

[0049] The modifier used to obtain the acid-modified polyolefin resin may be any compound having a functional group in its molecule that can contribute to the crosslinking reaction described later. Examples of functional groups that can contribute to the crosslinking reaction include carboxyl groups, groups derived from carboxylic acid anhydrides, carboxylic acid ester groups, hydroxyl groups, epoxy groups, amide groups, ammonium groups, nitrile groups, amino groups, imide groups, isocyanate groups, acetyl groups, thiol groups, ether groups, thioether groups, sulfone groups, phosphone groups, nitro groups, urethane groups, halogen atoms, and the like. Of these functional groups, carboxyl groups, groups derived from carboxylic acid anhydrides, carboxylic acid ester groups, hydroxyl groups, ammonium groups, amino groups, imide groups, and isocyanate groups are preferred. The modifier used to obtain the acid-modified polyolefin resin may also be a compound having two or more of the above functional groups in its molecule.

[0050] Acid-modified polyolefin resins are obtained, for example, by reacting a polyolefin resin with unsaturated carboxylic acids such as maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, glutaconic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, and aconitic acid, and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides such as maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, glutaconic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, aconitic anhydride, norbornenedicarboxylic acid anhydride, and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, thereby introducing carboxyl groups and / or groups derived from carboxylic acid anhydrides (graft modification).

[0051] Modifiers used to obtain hydroxyl-modified polyolefin resins include, for example, hydroxyl-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters such as hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, glycerol (meth)acrylate, lactone-modified hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, and polypropylene glycol (meth)acrylate; and hydroxyl-containing vinyl ethers such as 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether, diethylene glycol monovinyl ether, and 4-hydroxybutyl vinyl ether.

[0052] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the modified polyolefin resin should be approximately 10,000 to 2,000,000, preferably 20,000 to 1,500,000, more preferably 25,000 to 250,000, and particularly preferably 30,000 to 150,000. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) can be, for example, the value obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent, on a standard polystyrene basis.

[0053] The surface treatment agent according to this embodiment contains a silane coupling agent. Examples of silane coupling agents include 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS,Si(OC2H5)4), and the agent may contain either one or both. By containing 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane or tetraethoxysilane as the silane coupling agent in the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment, the surface treatment layer formed on the elastomer surface using the surface treatment agent can be given good non-stick properties and good conformability, and crack generation due to expansion and contraction of the elastomer can be suppressed. In addition, other silane coupling agents (e.g., 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, etc.) may be included as long as 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane are included.

[0054] The solvent included in the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment can be any solvent that is capable of dissolving the modified polyolefin resin and does not damage the elastomer that is the target of surface treatment by the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment. For example, toluene, n-hexane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, etc., can be used.

[0055] Furthermore, the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment preferably contains an acid catalyst. The acid catalyst can be miscible with the solvent, and for example, organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, and malic acid can be used, with acetic acid being preferred. The concentration of the acid catalyst in the surface treatment agent may be 0.20 to 0.50 mol / L, and preferably around 0.32 to 0.36 mol / L. This improves the reactivity when forming the surface treatment layer, making it possible to form a surface treatment layer with good non-stick properties and conformability.

[0056] The content ratio (by mass) of the fluorine-containing compound and the modified polyolefin resin in the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment may be, for example, about 1:0.1 to 1:2.5, and preferably about 1:0.5 to 1:2. The content ratio (by mass) of the fluorine-containing compound and the silane coupling agent may be, for example, about 1:0.1 to 1:2.0, and preferably about 1:0.5 to 1:1.5. Furthermore, the content ratio (by mass) of the fluorine-containing compound and the acid catalyst may be, for example, about 1:0.5 to 1:4.0, and preferably about 1:1.5 to 1:2.5. By having the content ratio (by mass) of the fluorine-containing compound, the modified polyolefin resin, the silane coupling agent, and the acid catalyst within the above range, good non-stick properties can be imparted to the surface treatment layer formed using the surface treatment agent.

[0057] The surface treatment agent according to this embodiment can be prepared by mixing the above-mentioned fluorine-containing compound, modified polyolefin resin, silane coupling agent, and solvent, and then adding an acid catalyst and stirring. The stirring time (reaction time) should be 5 minutes or more, preferably 10 to 120 minutes, and more preferably 50 to 90 minutes. If the stirring time (reaction time) is less than 5 minutes, there is a risk that a surface treatment layer cannot be formed on the surface of the substrate to be treated, or even if a surface treatment layer can be formed, there is a risk that sufficient non-stick and conformability cannot be imparted.

[0058] According to the above surface treatment agent, a surface treatment layer can be formed on the surface of an elastomer such as rubber that is non-adhesive and has good conformability to the expansion and contraction of rubber and other materials.

[0059] [Surface treatment method] The surface treatment method in this embodiment is a surface treatment method that performs surface treatment on the surface of an elastomer material to be treated using a surface treatment agent according to this embodiment. The surface treatment method includes the step of forming a surface treatment layer by applying the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment to the surface of the substrate to be treated.

[0060] The substrate to be treated can be any substrate whose surface to be treated with the surface treatment agent is composed of an elastomer. For example, it may be natural rubber (NR), isoprene rubber (IR), butadiene rubber (BR), chloroprene rubber (CR), butyl rubber (IIR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), acrylic rubber (ACM, ANM), epichlorohydrin rubber (CO, ECO), urethane rubber (AU, EU), silicone rubber (VMQ, FVMQ), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), ethylene propylene rubber (EPM, EPDM), fluororubber (FKM, FEPM), or rubber products (e.g., O-rings, X-rings, umbrellas, valves, etc.) composed of these elastomers (rubbers), or it may be a composite of elastomer (rubber) and metal or resin, etc., having an elastomer surface.

[0061] In this embodiment, the surface treatment layer can be formed by immersing the substrate to be treated in the surface treatment agent according to this embodiment, thereby forming a surface treatment layer that possesses both non-stick properties and conformability. The area in which the surface treatment layer is formed may be a part of the elastomer surface of the substrate to be treated, or it may be the entire surface.

[0062] The immersion time of the substrate to be treated in the surface treatment agent may be, for example, 1 minute or more, 3 minutes or more, and preferably 3 to 5 minutes. If the immersion time is less than 1 minute, non-stick properties can be imparted to the surface treatment layer formed on the surface of the substrate to be treated, but sufficient conformability may not be provided.

[0063] In this embodiment, the coating film formed on the surface of the substrate to be treated may be heated by immersing the substrate in a surface treatment agent. Examples of heating methods include heating in an oven and heating by a hot press, but are not particularly limited. As for heating conditions, for example, it is about 100 to 180°C for about 10 to 60 minutes, preferably about 120 to 160°C for about 10 to 30 minutes. By forming a surface treatment layer on the elastomer surface of the substrate to be treated in this way, an elastomer article can be manufactured comprising a base having an elastomer surface and a surface treatment layer covering at least a part of the elastomer surface of the base.

[0064] The embodiments described above are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Accordingly, each element disclosed in the above embodiments is intended to include all design modifications and equivalents that fall within the technical scope of the present invention. [Examples]

[0065] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited in any way to the following examples and test examples.

[0066] [Manufacturing Example 1] Manufacturing example of a surface treatment agent The fluorine-containing compound shown in formula (5) above, a modified polyolefin resin (UNISTOL® XP04A, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.), and a silane coupling agent (3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), or DOWSIL) TMSurface treatment agents (L1 to L18) were prepared by mixing Z-6062 Silane (manufactured by DOW) with a solvent (toluene), adding an acid catalyst (17.4M acetic acid), and stirring for 10 or 60 minutes. Table 1 shows the amounts of fluorine-containing compound, modified polyolefin resin, silane coupling agent, solvent, and acid catalyst used in each surface treatment agent.

[0067] [Table 1]

[0068] [Manufacturing Example 2] Manufacturing Example of Surface-Treated Rubber Sheet Square-shaped rubber sheets measuring 2 cm on each side (silicone rubber sheet (Q), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber sheet (NBR), ethylene propylene diene rubber sheet (EP), and fluororubber sheet (FKM)) were prepared. Each rubber sheet was immersed for 3 minutes in the surface treatment agent (L1 to L18) prepared in Production Example 1 to form a surface treatment layer. The rubber sheets with the surface treatment layer formed (samples 1 to 18) were fired at 150°C for 10 minutes.

[0069] [Example Exam 1] TAC Exam Rubber sheets of samples 1 to 18 were mounted on a probe tack test apparatus (product name: Tacking Tester TAC-II, manufactured by Resca Co., Ltd.). A load of 100 gf was applied to the surface treatment layer of the rubber sheet, and the probe (a cylindrical probe made of stainless steel (diameter: 5.1 mm)) was brought into contact with it for 3 seconds. Then, the probe was peeled off at a speed of 600 mm / min perpendicular to the surface of the test piece, and the force required for peeling (adhesion force, gf) was measured. The results are shown in Table 2. Similarly, when the adhesive strength was measured for silicone rubber sheets (Q), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber sheets (NBR), ethylene propylene diene rubber sheets (EP), and fluororubber sheets (FKM) without a surface treatment layer, the adhesive strength of the silicone rubber sheet (Q) was 194.7 gf, the adhesive strength of the acrylonitrile butadiene rubber sheet (NBR) was 285.7 gf, the adhesive strength of the ethylene propylene diene rubber sheet (EPDM) was 486.5 gf, and the adhesive strength of the fluororubber sheet (FKM) was 387.5 gf.

[0070] [Test Example 2] Followability Test A conformability test was conducted on rubber sheets 1 to 18. This test involved visually inspecting or using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine whether cracks occurred in the surface treatment layer of the rubber sheet while stretching it in one direction to 25% and 50% of its area. The results are shown in Table 2. The conformability was evaluated as follows: "○" if no cracks occurred in the surface treatment layer by 50% stretching, "△" if cracks occurred in the surface treatment layer by 50% stretching, and "×" if cracks occurred in the surface treatment layer by 25% stretching.

[0071] [Table 2]

[0072] As shown in Table 2, the rubber sheets of samples 1-13 and 15-16 exhibited excellent non-stick properties when their elastomer (rubber) surface was treated with a surface treatment agent containing the above-mentioned fluorine-containing compound, modified polyolefin resin, silane coupling agent, and acid catalyst. However, non-stick properties could not be imparted to the fluororubber sheet (FKM) of sample 14, the fluororubber sheet (FKM) of sample 17, and the silicone rubber sheet (Q) of sample 18.

[0073] Furthermore, it was confirmed that the rubber sheets of sample 13 and sample 16 exhibited good conformability to the expansion and contraction of the rubber sheets. From these results, it can be inferred that a surface treatment layer with good conformability can be formed by increasing the stirring time (reaction time). It is inferred that when 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) was used as the silane coupling agent, a hard and brittle coating layer was formed on the surface, making it prone to cracking when the rubber sheet was expanded and contracted, and thus unable to provide sufficient conformability.
