Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This technology relates to molded rubber products. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, rubber has been considered superior as a sealing material for containers or devices used in pharmaceutical and medical applications due to its airtight properties. In the past, natural rubber was widely used, while currently synthetic rubber is more common. Furthermore, when rubber used in containers or utensils comes into contact with chemicals (which may be liquids, solids, gases, or combinations thereof), problems specific to rubber may occur, such as the leaching of rubber components. For this reason, rubber molded products containing a fluororesin film layer and rubber material, in which a chemically inert fluororesin film is used on part or all of the surface of the rubber molded product, are widely available on the market.
[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a composite rubber molded body for pharmaceuticals, in which a fluororesin film is laminated to the surface, wherein on the surface of the composite rubber molded body, the proportion of fluorine is 40% or more of the total 100% of the three elements carbon, oxygen, and fluorine, or the fluorine / carbon element ratio (F / C) is 0.8 or more, and the b* in the L*a*b* color system is 2.0 or less.

Liu et al., Royal Society open science 5: 171775, 25 April 2018. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] Furthermore, during the manufacturing of rubber molded products, the resin film layer may tear or peel, resulting in poor moldability during production. In recent years, when sterilized rubber molded products are distributed to the market, electron beam sterilization is sometimes used instead of high-pressure steam sterilization to sterilize them after sealing them in packaging containers. Therefore, there is a demand for rubber molded products that can withstand electron beam sterilization. The inventors of this invention have attempted to provide a rubber molded product that has good gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance, as well as good moldability during production, even when a non-fluorine-based resin film is used on the surface of the rubber molded product.
[0007] Therefore, the main objective of this technology is to provide a rubber molded product that has good gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance, as well as good moldability during manufacturing. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] As a result of diligent research, the inventors of the present invention have discovered that by using a non-fluorine resin film having specific conditions and providing it as a non-fluorine resin film layer on the surface of a rubber molded product, it is possible to provide a rubber molded product that has good gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance, as well as good moldability during manufacturing, and have thus completed the present invention.
[0009] The present technology can provide a rubber molded product including a non-fluorine-based resin film layer, wherein the ratio (TD / MD) of the elongation in the TD direction to the elongation in the MD direction in the non-fluorine-based resin film before lamination is 0.80 or more and 1.20 or less. Moreover, the elongation in the MD direction in the non-fluorine-based resin film before lamination may be 150% or more and 450% or less, and the elongation in the TD direction may be 150% or more and 450% or less. Moreover, the tensile strength in the MD direction in the non-fluorine-based resin film before lamination may be 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, the tensile strength in the TD direction may be 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and / or the ratio (TD / MD) of the tensile strength in the TD direction to the tensile strength in the MD direction may be 0.80 or more and 1.00 or less. Moreover, the non-fluorine-based resin may be one or more selected from polyaryl ether ketone resin and polyamide resin. Also, the rubber may be selected from butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber.

[0083] The degree of crystallinity using the XRD method is calculated by substituting the area of a predetermined diffraction peak and the area of the amorphous region into the following equation (Equation 1). The predetermined diffraction peak is the diffraction peak originating from the crystals of the raw film, and the area of the predetermined diffraction peak is the sum of the areas of the diffraction peaks originating from the crystals of the raw film. The area of the amorphous region is the area of the peaks originating from the amorphous (amorphous) material of the raw film.

It is preferable to determine the crystallinity of the raw material film based on the calculated crystallization energy or degree of crystallinity.
[0091] The crystallization energy using the DSC method is calculated by determining the area of the exothermic peak originating from the crystallization of the raw material film, and then dividing this area by the weight of the sample (raw material film).
[0092] The degree of crystallinity using the DSC method is calculated by substituting the crystallization energy mentioned above, as well as the melting energy and the melting energy of a perfect crystal, into the following equation (Equation 2). The melting energy is calculated by determining the area of the melting peak originating from the melting of the raw material film and dividing the calculated area by the weight of the sample (raw material film). Normally, the melting energy is a negative value, but when calculating the degree of crystallinity, the absolute value of the melting energy is used. The melting energy of a perfect crystal can be cited, for example, from Non-Patent Literature 1 (M. Doumeng et al., Polymer Testing, 93 (2021), Article 106878, 2021:1-10).
[0093]
number
[0094] The raw material film used in this technology is preferably a PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film having a specific range of crystallinity determined by the DSC method.

[0096] 1-3-5. Leaching resistance of raw material film The raw material film used in this technology is preferably a resin film having specific elution resistance. If a rubber molded product exhibits excellent elution resistance, it can be determined that the raw material film used at that time is a film having specific elution resistance. Rubber molded products formed using raw material films and rubber materials can be used as samples and evaluated based on the general elution test (18th edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Methods for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test). The evaluation items may include one or more selected from, for example, pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing agent, foaming, and properties (the test solution is colorless and clear, and no foreign matter is visible to the naked eye). A larger number of items is preferable from the viewpoint of evaluating elution resistance. Of these, it is preferable to include at least the pH value as an evaluation item from the viewpoint of elution resistance. Then, using the sample, if it conforms to the standards specified in each evaluation item described above (18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test), it can be judged as passing; otherwise, it can be judged as failing. Those judged as passing can be considered to have elution resistance. Furthermore, it is preferable that the rubber molded product laminated with a non-fluorine-based resin film and the raw material film used therein perform relatively well when compared to the evaluation of the rubber molded product laminated with ETFE. In this case, it is desirable to use the same materials (rubber material) and manufacturing method as the raw material film.

If a rubber molded product exhibits excellent electron beam resistance, it can be determined that the raw material film used is a film having specific electron beam resistance.
[0098] Using raw material films and rubber molded products formed from rubber materials as samples, samples irradiated with electron beams can be evaluated based on a general elution test (18th edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Methods for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test). If the rubber molded product exhibits excellent electron beam resistance, it can be determined that the raw material film used is a film with specific electron beam resistance. As evaluation items, the evaluation items listed in "1-3-5. Elution Resistance of Raw Material Film" above can be appropriately adopted, and one or more of these may be selected. The more items there are, the more preferable it is from the viewpoint of electron beam resistance evaluation, and of these, it is preferable to include the pH value as an evaluation item from the viewpoint of electron beam resistance. Then, using the electron beam-irradiated sample, if it conforms to the standards specified in each evaluation item described above (18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test), it can be judged as passing; otherwise, it can be judged as failing. Furthermore, even if the electron beam-irradiated sample is judged to conform to the standards, if the evaluation results of the electron beam-irradiated sample are compared with the evaluation results of the unirradiated sample and the evaluation results of the electron beam-irradiated sample are worse, it can be judged that the sample (in other words, the raw material film) has deteriorated due to electron beam irradiation. When evaluating the unirradiated sample, the procedure is the same as for each evaluation item test described above, except that the electron beam-irradiated sample is replaced with the unirradiated sample. Furthermore, regarding electron beam resistance, for relative evaluation in comparison with the evaluation of rubber molded products laminated with ETFE, the content of the relative evaluation described in "1-3-5. Elution Resistance of Raw Material Film" above may be appropriately adopted, and rubber molded products and raw material films used therein that have good relative evaluations are preferred.

The rubber molded articles are preferably applied as sealing materials for containers or devices that come into contact with chemicals. The situations in which the articles come into contact with chemicals are not particularly limited, but include use and storage. The chemicals may be liquids, solids, gases, or combinations of one or more selected from these (such as a liquid layer and a gas layer, a solid layer and a gas layer). Furthermore, the rubber molded articles are preferably applied to seal containers for storing pharmaceuticals and other drugs. The rubber molded products relating to this technology are not particularly limited, but examples include rubber stoppers for sealing containers and gaskets provided at the tip of a plunger in a syringe to prevent leakage. Furthermore, examples of rubber molded products include rubber stoppers, gaskets, nozzle caps, cylinder caps, and inner stoppers, and one or more of these can be used. Furthermore, the film layer included in the rubber molded product preferably directly or indirectly covers the bare surface of the rubber substrate (part or all of the legs or top surface) and is positioned on the surface of the rubber molded product.
[0101] 2. Method for manufacturing rubber molded products The rubber molded articles relating to this technology can be manufactured by known manufacturing methods using a raw material film and raw rubber (rubber material). Known manufacturing methods are not particularly limited, but examples include methods of coating the raw rubber with a raw material film, and methods of coating (applying, etc.) the raw rubber with the resin material of the film. The raw rubber (rubber material) may also be in the form of a sheet. To improve adhesion between the raw material film and the rubber substrate, surface treatment may be applied to the surface of the raw material film and / or the rubber substrate before molding. The surface to be surface-treated is preferably the surface in contact with the raw material film and the rubber substrate, and it is preferable to surface-treat either one or both, and more preferably the surface-treat the raw material film. The surface treatment method is not particularly limited, but one or more known methods selected from, for example, chemical treatment, corona discharge, and etching methods such as sputtering and plasma treatment can be used. Of these, etching methods such as sputtering and plasma treatment are preferred from the viewpoint of avoiding discoloration of the treated surface, simplifying equipment, and product control. In this technology, known rubber mold molding methods can be used. Examples of rubber mold molding include direct pressure molding (compression molding) and injection molding (transfer molding), and one or more of these can be used, with compression molding being preferred. This technology provides a method for manufacturing rubber molded products by processing raw material film and raw material rubber using a mold, and compression molding may be performed by applying pressure and heat for a predetermined time during processing.
[0102] The manufacturing of rubber molded articles using this technology, in which a raw material film is directly or indirectly coated onto the raw surface of a rubber substrate, can utilize known compression molding. Known compression molding methods include, for example, compression molding in which the lower part (sometimes referred to as the leg portion) and upper part (sometimes referred to as the top surface portion) of a rubber molded article are molded simultaneously, or compression molding in which the lower part and upper part of a rubber molded article are molded in stages. An example of compression molding in which the lower part and upper part of a rubber molded article are molded simultaneously is the compression molding disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-131874).
[0103] 2-1. Compression molding, a method for gradually molding the lower and upper parts of a rubber molded product.
[0104] This technology can provide a compression molding method for molding the lower and upper parts of a rubber molded product in stages. An example of such compression molding is the compression molding disclosed in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-272134).
[0105] In this compression molding process, a first mold is used to form the lower part of the rubber molded product. The raw material film and the sheet-like rubber material that forms the rubber base are pressurized and heated, thereby forming a primary molded product in which only the lower part of the rubber molded product is formed. The manufacturing conditions using the first mold are not particularly limited, but may be appropriately changed depending on the type of raw material film and rubber material. The heating temperature is preferably, for example, 130°C to 180°C. The clamping pressure is, for example, 20 kg / cm². 2 ~120 kg / cm 2 It is preferable that this is the case. The heating temperature and the time for applying the clamping pressure are preferably, for example, 5 to 20 minutes.
[0106] Next, the rubber molded product can be formed by pressurizing and heating the first molded product (lower part) and the rubber material using a second mold for forming the upper part of the rubber molded product. The manufacturing conditions using the second mold at this time are not particularly limited, but may be appropriately changed depending on the type of first molded product and rubber material. The heating temperature is preferably, for example, 130°C to 180°C. The clamping pressure is, for example, 20 kg / cm². 2 ~120 kg / cm 2 It is preferable that this is the case. The heating temperature and the time for applying the clamping pressure are preferably, for example, 5 to 20 minutes.
[0107] In the compression molding process described above, the film layer is placed only at the bottom of the rubber substrate in the molded rubber product. However, the film layer can be placed at both the bottom and top of the rubber substrate as needed. That is, if necessary, the primary molded product, the raw rubber (rubber material), and the raw film can be placed before the pressurization and heating using the second mold. [Examples]

(R) A film manufactured by Kurabo, with a film thickness of 50 μm, was used. The rubber molded product of Test Example 6 (Comparative Example 2) contains a film of highly crystalline PEEK resin, a type of PAEK resin (Material name: Shin-Etsu Sepla Film). (R) [High-crystallinity type] (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Polymer Co., Ltd., film thickness 100 μm) was used. Test Example 7 (Reference Example 1) used a highly crystalline ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) film (film thickness 100 μm) manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation. For the rubber molded products in Test Examples 1 to 7, butyl rubber (D713 (without film coating): manufactured by Daikyo Seiko Co., Ltd.) and chlorinated butyl rubber (D21-7S (without film coating): manufactured by Daikyo Seiko Co., Ltd.) were used as the rubber material.
[0110] The elongation and tensile strength of each film used in these test examples 1 to 7 are shown in Table 4 below.
[0111] <Moldability Test> A rubber molded product was manufactured by applying the raw material film of Test Example 1 to the film layer. In Test Example 1-1, butyl rubber was used as the rubber material, and in Test Example 1-2, chlorinated butyl rubber was used. Unless otherwise specified, Test Example ○-1 and "-1" refer to rubber molded products using butyl rubber, while Test Example ○-2 and "-2" refer to rubber molded products using chlorinated butyl rubber. The rubber molded product was molded on a prototype scale using the method described in "2-1. Compression molding for gradually molding the lower and upper parts of the rubber molded product" above. In the prototype scale, the final rubber molded product was a rubber stopper for vials (diameter 19.05 mm, height 8.00 mm) with legs attached to the bottom of a disc shape, as shown in Figure 1. The mold had 8 x 8 holes, and 64 pieces were produced in one batch. The manufacturing conditions for the first and second molds were as follows: heating temperature 130°C to 180°C and clamping pressure 20 kg / cm². 2 ~120 kg / cm 2 The heating temperature and the time for applying the clamping pressure were 5 to 20 minutes. In this way, the rubber molded products of Test Example 1-1 and Test Example 1-2 were obtained. The rubber molded products in Test Examples 2 to 7 were obtained in the same manner, except that the raw material film was changed. The resulting rubber molded product was a rubber stopper for vial bottles, with legs attached to the bottom of a disc shape, as shown in Figure 1. This rubber molded product had a diameter of 19.05 mm and a height of 8.00 mm. Furthermore, the desired rubber molded products for Test Examples 2 to 7 were obtained in the same manner as in Test Example 1, except that the raw material film was changed.
[0112] Using a prototype scale, the molded rubber products were visually inspected for any tears or peeling of the film layer. While a higher number of acceptable products relative to the total is desirable, a rate of 80% or higher can be considered good, and 90% or higher can be considered excellent.
[0113] In Test Examples 1-1 to 4-1 and Test Example 7-1, which used butyl rubber as the rubber material, no tearing or peeling of the film layer was observed, and the number of acceptable products was 100% of the total, with at least 80% being acceptable. Therefore, the moldability evaluation for these products was satisfactory and excellent. On the other hand, in Test Examples 5-1 to 6-1, tearing or peeling of the film layer was observed in all of the rubber molded products, so the moldability evaluation for these products was unsatisfactory. Similarly, in the rubber molded products of Test Examples 1-2 to 4-2 and Test Example 7-2, which used chlorinated butyl rubber as the rubber material, the number of acceptable products was 100% of the total, and the moldability evaluation for these products was satisfactory and excellent. On the other hand, in all of the rubber molded products of Test Examples 5-2 to 6-2, tearing or peeling of the film layer was observed, so the moldability evaluation for these products was deemed unsatisfactory.
[0114] Therefore, the PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) films in Test Examples 1-3 and the PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film in Test Example 4 were judged to be films with excellent moldability when obtaining rubber molded products. On the other hand, the highly crystalline PEEK resins in Test Examples 5-6 were judged to be films with poor moldability when obtaining rubber molded products.
[0115] Furthermore, the PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) films of Test Examples 1-3 and the PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film of Test Example 4 can be surface-treated by an etching method using plasma treatment, thereby further improving the adhesion between the rubber substrate and the resin film. By bringing the surface-treated film resin surface into contact with the surface of the rubber substrate, a rubber molded product can be obtained by the compression molding described above.
[0116] [Table 1]
[0117] <Elongation test and tensile strength test> Elongation and tensile strength tests were performed on the raw film used in each test example. The elongation and tensile strength tests were measured in accordance with JIS K 7127:1999. The elongation and tensile strength tests were measured under a tensile speed of 500 mm / min.
[0118] <Oxygen permeability test> For each test example, the raw material film was subjected to an oxygen permeability test at 23±2°C. The oxygen permeability test was measured in accordance with JIS K 7126-1:2006. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the raw material film at 23±2°C was 2.00 × 10⁻¹⁰. -16 mol·m / (m 2 The gas barrier properties of the rubber molded product were judged to be good when the values were below (s·Pa). The oxygen permeability coefficients of the PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film in Test Example 1, the PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film in Test Example 4, and the ETFE resin film in Test Example 7 are 7.37 × 10⁻⁶. -17 , 1.16 × 10 -16 , 3.95×10 -16 Furthermore, the oxygen permeability coefficient was below the above standard, and in both cases, we considered the gas barrier properties of the rubber molded product to be good.
[0119] <Leaching Test> The rubber molded articles (rubber base material: butyl rubber, chlorinated butyl rubber) obtained in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7 were evaluated based on the elution test (18th Edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Methods for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test). In Test Example ○-1, the rubber molded article used butyl rubber, and in Test Example ○-2, the rubber molded article used chlorinated butyl rubber. The evaluation items included pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing agent, foaming, and properties (the test solution was colorless and clear, and no foreign matter was visible to the naked eye).
[0120] <<pH value evaluation in elution testing>> After washing the rubber stopper with water, let it dry at room temperature. The surface area is approximately 150 cm². 2 Take a number of samples such that the sample size is 1 cm, place these rubber stopper samples in a hard glass container, and 2 Add water to make a total volume of 2 mL per container, properly stopper the container, then heat in an autoclaver at 121°C for 1 hour. Remove the hard glass container and let it stand at room temperature. Immediately remove the rubber stopper, and this liquid will be used as the test solution. Separately, a blank solution is prepared using only water, in the same manner as described above, except that a rubber stopper sample is not used.
[0121] The following tests are performed on the test solution and blank solution. Take 20 mL each of the test solution (sample) and blank solution, add 1 mL of a solution made by dissolving 1.0 g of potassium chloride in water to each, and measure the pH of both solutions. If the pH difference between these two solutions is 1.0 or less, the pH value standard is considered to be met. Even if the pH difference between the two solutions is within the range of the pH value standard, the closer it is to 0.0, the better the result, and the closer it is to 1.0, the worse the result.
[0122] Test Examples 1 (Example 1), 4 (Example 4), and 7 (Reference Example 1) (these rubber substrates: butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber) all passed all evaluation items of these <elution tests> (pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing substance, foaming, and properties). Regarding the pH value evaluation in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7, there was almost no difference in pH between the two solutions, and the pH value evaluation was very good. Therefore, the rubber molded articles in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7 were judged to have elution resistance. From this, it was determined that PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film and PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film are resins that have excellent elution resistance for use in rubber molded articles.
[0123] <Electron beam resistance test> The electron beam-irradiated rubber molded products used in the electron beam resistance test were obtained by irradiating the rubber molded products obtained in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7 with electron beams. To obtain the electron beam-irradiated rubber molded products, the rubber molded product was irradiated with an electron beam using the electron accelerator Rhodetron TT200 (manufactured by IBA Corporation), with the beam energy set to 10 MeV, and the target dose at the surface was 50 kGy. The electron beam-irradiated rubber molded products were evaluated based on "The 18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Methods for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test." Specifically, the electron beam-irradiated rubber molded products were used to perform tests on pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing agent, foaming, and properties (the test solution was colorless and clear, and no foreign matter was observed with the naked eye), and these were evaluated. Where necessary, unirradiated rubber molded products (the rubber molded products obtained in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7) were prepared as controls, and the same test items were performed. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0124] [Table 2]
[0125] In the case of pH value evaluation in the electron beam resistance test, the procedure was carried out in the same manner as described in <<pH value evaluation in the elution test>> above, except that the "rubber stopper" was replaced with the "electron beam irradiated rubber stopper". The pH difference between the test solution (electron beam irradiated rubber stopper) and the blank solution (water) was confirmed and evaluated. If the difference in pH value between the test solution of the electron beam irradiated rubber stopper and the blank solution was 1.0 or less, the rubber molded product and the resin film used therein were deemed to be compliant (pass) in the electron beam resistance test.
[0126] Using rubber molded products without electron beam irradiation, the pH difference between the test solution (rubber stopper without electron beam irradiation) and the blank solution (water) was confirmed in the same manner. The results of the pH difference between the test solution (rubber stopper with electron beam irradiation) and the blank solution (water) were compared with the results of the pH difference between the test solution (rubber stopper without electron beam irradiation) and the blank solution (water). Although the results were deemed acceptable (passing), it was determined that the larger these pH differences were, the worse the pH difference was due to electron beam irradiation, and the lower the electron beam resistance.
[0127] The above evaluations of electron beam resistance were performed on the rubber molded articles of Test Example 1 (Example 1), Test Example 4 (Example 4), and Test Example 7 (Reference Example 1). The rubber molded articles of Test Example 1-2 (chlorinated butyl rubber), Test Example 4-1 (butyl rubber), and Test Example 4-2 (chlorinated butyl rubber) all conformed to the specified standards for all evaluation items and passed. On the other hand, for the rubber molded articles (2 types) of Reference Example 1 (ETFE), the pH value evaluation was unfavorable for the butyl rubber substrate, and "favorable (but worsened)" for the chlorinated butyl rubber substrate.
[0128] In the pH evaluation of electron beam resistance in Test Examples 1 and 4, there was almost no difference in pH between the two solutions, and the pH evaluation was very good. However, in the pH evaluation of electron beam resistance in Test Example 7, the difference in pH between the sample solution with electron beam irradiation and the blank solution was high at approximately 0.8, although it was within the acceptable range. In the case of the blank solution without electron beam irradiation, there was almost no difference in pH between the two solutions. Therefore, the pH evaluation of electron beam resistance in Test Example 7 was "acceptable (deteriorated)".
[0129] Furthermore, the rubber molded articles of Test Example 1 (PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin)) and Test Example 4 (PA resin (preferably PACM resin)) were found to be superior in terms of pH value evaluation when compared with the results of each evaluation item of the rubber molded article of Reference Example (ETFE). For this reason, if at least the pH value evaluation item is passed, it was determined that the electron beam resistance is good.
[0130] Based on the above, it was determined that rubber molded products using PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film and rubber molded products using PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film had excellent electron beam resistance. Therefore, it was determined that PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film and PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film are resins with excellent electron beam resistance for use in rubber molded products.
[0131] <Calculation of the crystallinity of resin films using the XRD method>
[0132] For the measurement and calculation of crystallinity in the XRD method, an X-ray diffractometer (PANalytical, X'pert PRO MPD) and the XRD analysis software attached to the X-ray diffractometer were used. The XRD analysis software may be an XRD analysis tool. The XRD analysis software can perform XRD measurement and derive measurement results, detect and calculate diffraction peaks, their areas, amorphous regions, and their areas necessary for calculating crystallinity from the measurement results, and calculate the crystallinity of each resin film considering these calculated areas. Note that the analysis software or analysis tool used in this technology can also perform automatic analysis that automatically executes calculations and analysis from measurement results to crystallinity using a processor such as a CPU built into a computer or server and a memory such as ROM. In this case, automatic analysis was performed.
[0133] Measurement conditions: Target: Cu anode Divergence slit: 1 / 4° Anti-scatter slit: 1°, 5.5 mm Scanning range (2θ): 5 - 50° Scan step time: 100 sec Scan step width: 0.0334°
[0134] The crystallinity was calculated by substituting the areas of the diffraction peaks and the amorphous region into the above (Equation 1). More specifically, it was calculated by the following (Equation 3). Here, as shown in Non-Patent Document 3 (H. Liu et al., Royal Society open science 5: 171775, 25 April 2018.), for the detection of diffraction peaks derived from PEEK resin, diffraction peaks from the (110) plane, (111) plane, (200) plane, and (211) plane were used as standards.

[0136] Figure 2 is a chart showing the measurement results obtained using the aforementioned X-ray diffractometer: the upper panel shows the low-crystallinity PEEK resin film of Test Example 3 (Example 3), and the lower panel shows the PA resin film (PACM-12 resin film) of Test Example 4 (Example 4).
[0137] As shown in the upper part of Figure 2, when the PEEK resin film of Test Example 3 was measured using the X-ray diffractometer described above, no diffraction peaks originating from crystals were observed, and therefore the degree of crystallinity could not be calculated.
[0138] Furthermore, diffraction peaks originating from PEEK resin can be found in Non-Patent Document 3 (H. Liu et al., Royal Society Open Science 5: 171775, 25 April 2018). As can be seen from "3.4. Microstructure characterization," "Figure 7," and "Table 3," the diffraction peaks originating from the crystals of PEEK resin in Non-Patent Document 3 are 18.8° ((110) plane), 20.7° ((111) plane), 22.9° ((200) plane), and 28.9° ((211) plane), indicating a crystallinity of 40.9-45.3% for PEEK.
[0139] Based on this, we concluded that the PEEK resin film in Test Example 3 clearly has a crystallinity of 30% or less, and is a low-crystallinity resin film in which no diffraction peaks originating from crystals were detected. This result is consistent with the properties of the product, as the resin film in Test Example 3 was purchased as a low-crystallinity PEEK resin.
[0140] As shown in the lower part of FIG. 2, when the PA resin film (PACM-12 resin film) of Test Example 4 was measured using the X-ray diffractometer, diffraction peaks derived from each crystal of the PA resin (PACM-12 resin) were not detected, and the crystallinity could not be detected. From this, it was considered that the PA resin film of Test Example 4 was a low-crystalline resin film with a crystallinity of 30% or less or from which diffraction peaks derived from crystals were not detected. This result is consistent with the properties of the product since the resin film of Test Example 4 was purchased as a low-crystalline PA resin. Regarding the diffraction peaks derived from the PA resin (PACM-12 resin), reference can be made to Non-Patent Document 2 (A.W.L. Chen et al., Journal of Composite Materials, Vol. 27, No.9, 1993:862-885). The diffraction peaks derived from the crystals of the PACM-12 resin in this Non-Patent Document 2 are four peaks within the diffraction angle range of 14° to 22°, and the diffraction angle of one of the diffraction peaks is 17.4° and its vicinity, and the diffraction angle of another diffraction peak is 19.2° and its vicinity.
[0141] <Measurement of Melting Point and Glass Transition Temperature>
[0142] The melting point (midpoint melting temperature) and glass transition temperature (glass transition onset temperature) were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (Rigaku Corporation, DSCVesta; analysis tool: Thermo plus EVO2 system). In the measurement, the measurement atmosphere was nitrogen gas at 50 mL / min, the reference substance was an aluminum pan, and the heating rate was 10 °C / min. The measurement range was from 30 °C to 380 °C for PEEK and from 30 °C to 290 °C for PA. The analysis was performed on the peaks observed in the first heating process, and the melting point and glass transition temperature were used.
[0143] <Calculation of Crystallization Energy and Crystallinity of Resin Film Using DSC Method>
[0144] A differential scanning calorimeter (DSCVesta, Rigaku Corporation; analysis tool: Thermo plus EVO2 system) was used to calculate the crystallization energy and degree of crystallinity using the DSC method. For the measurements, the measurement atmosphere was nitrogen gas at 50 mL / min, the reference material was an aluminum pan, the temperature range was 30°C to 380°C, and the heating rate was 10°C / min. Analysis was performed on the peak observed during the first heating process.
[0145] Crystallization energy and degree of crystallinity in the DSC method were determined using a differential scanning calorimeter and the DSC analysis tool attached to the differential scanning calorimeter. The DSC analysis tool may also be DSC analysis software. The DSC analysis tool can measure DSCs and derive measurement results, detect and calculate crystallization energy or melting energy necessary for calculating the degree of crystallinity from these measurement results, and calculate the degree of crystallinity of each resin film, taking these factors into consideration. The analysis software can also perform automated analysis, using a processor such as a CPU and memory such as ROM built into a computer or server to automatically perform calculations and analysis from measurement results to the degree of crystallinity. In this case, the start and end points of the baseline of the exothermic peak originating from crystallization were determined by the operator, and then the automated analysis software performed data processing based on this baseline to calculate the crystallization energy, thus the analysis was performed using a semi-automated method.
[0146] More specifically, the crystallization energy was calculated by having the automated analysis software perform data processing based on the baseline, after which the start and end points of the baseline of the exothermic peak originating from crystallization were determined by the operator. The melting energy was calculated in the same manner as the crystallization energy, by having the analysis software perform data processing based on the baseline, after which the start and end points of the baseline of the melting peak originating from melting were determined by the operator. The degree of crystallinity was calculated by substituting the calculated crystallization energy and melting energy into equation (2) described above. More specifically, it was calculated using the following equation (4).
[0147]
number
[0148] Figure 3 is a chart showing the measurement results (DSC curve) of the PEEK resin film of Test Example 1, measured using a differential scanning calorimeter. As shown in Figure 3, the chart for the PEEK resin film of Test Example 1 shows an exothermic peak originating from crystallization (peak near 175°C) and a melting peak originating from melting (peak near 337°C).
[0149] Except for changing the resin film, the cold crystallization energy, melting energy, and degree of crystallinity of each low-crystallinity PEEK resin film in Test Example 2 and Test Example 3 were calculated using a differential scanning calorimeter and analysis tools, in the same manner as in Test Example 1. Table 3 shows the results of the DSC method calculations for the crystallization energy and degree of crystallinity of the resin films in Test Examples 1-3. The values in Table 3 are the average values obtained from three measurements of each low-crystallinity PEEK resin film.
[0150] [Table 3]
[0151] Figure 4 shows an example of a chart for the highly crystalline PEEK resin of Test Example 6 (Comparative Example 2), measured using a differential scanning calorimeter. As shown in Figure 4, no exothermic peaks originating from crystallization were observed in the chart for this highly crystalline PEEK resin.
[0152] <Result>
[0153] The results for each of the above-mentioned test examples 1 to 7 are shown in Table 4. Note that in Table 4, "electron beam resistance" and "elution resistance" both refer to "electron beam resistance" and "elution resistance" as evaluated by pH value. In Table 4, "Excellent" for electron beam resistance (pH value evaluation) means that at least one of the butyl rubber or chlorinated butyl rubber meets the pH value evaluation criteria for electron beam resistance, and there is almost no difference in pH between the respective sample solution and the blank solution. Furthermore, "Good" for electron beam resistance (pH value evaluation) means that the pH value evaluation criteria for electron beam resistance meet the criteria, but there is a large difference in the evaluation results between those with and without electron beam resistance. In Test Example 7, when chlorinated butyl was used, the pH value evaluation with electron beam irradiation deteriorated to about 0.8. In this case, when the difference in electron beam resistance (pH value evaluation) was 0.5, 0.6, or 0.7 or higher, it was judged to be good and met the criteria, and when there was almost no difference, such as 0 or 0.1 or lower, it was judged to be excellent.
[0154] [Table 4]
[0155] <Consideration> Based on the above results, using a resin film with a ratio of elongation in the TD direction to elongation in the MD direction (TD / MD) of 0.80 or more and 1.20 or less as the film layer of a rubber molded product resulted in good moldability (acceptable) of the obtained rubber molded product. For such resin films, it was preferable that the elongation in the MD direction of the resin film was 150% or more and 450% or less, and the elongation in the TD direction was 150% or more and 450% or less. Furthermore, for such resin films, it was preferable that the tensile strength in the MD direction of the resin film was 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and the tensile strength in the TD direction was 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and that the ratio of the tensile strength in the TD direction to the tensile strength in the MD direction (TD / MD) was 0.80 or more and 1.00 or less. Furthermore, the rubber molded articles obtained using the non-fluorine resin film having the above-mentioned specific elongation and / or specific tensile strength also exhibited excellent gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance.
[0156] Furthermore, the results above indicate that a low-crystallinity resin film was preferable as a raw material. The rubber molded products obtained using the non-fluorinated resin film with the aforementioned specific crystallinity exhibited excellent gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance.
[0157] Furthermore, based on the above results, it was preferable that the resin film used be one or more types selected from PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) and PA resin (preferably PACM resin). It was also preferable that the rubber material used be one or two types selected from butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber.
[0158] In this specification, the upper limit (less than or equal to) and lower limit (greater than or equal to) of each numerical range (~) can be arbitrarily combined as desired. In numerical ranges described stepwise in this specification, the upper limit or lower limit of a numerical range in one step may be replaced with the upper limit or lower limit of a numerical range in another step. Unless otherwise specified, the examples in this specification may be used individually or in combination of two or more examples.
