Acrylic elastomer, acrylic elastomer composition, laminate, crosslinked product, and molded article
Provided are an acrylic elastomer superior in adhesiveness to a fluorine-based elastomer, an acrylic elastomer composition containing the same, its laminate, and its crosslinked product and a molded article therefrom. Iodine groups are introduced as crosslinking groups into an acrylic elastomer to an iodine content of 0.1 to 2 mass % with respect to the total mass of the elastomer. In addition, 1 to 7 parts by mass of an organic peroxide and 1 to 5 parts by mass of an onium salt were blended with 100 parts by mass of the acrylic elastomer, to give an acrylic elastomer composition. Further, an acrylic elastomer layer of the acrylic elastomer composition is laminated with a fluorine-based elastomer layer of a fluorine-based elastomer composition mainly containing of a fluorine-based elastomer having iodine groups as crosslinking groups, to give a laminate. The laminate is then crosslinked to give a crosslinked product and a molded article.
1. An acrylic elastomer, comprising iodine groups as crosslinking groups and having an iodine content of 0.1 to 2 mass % with respect to the total mass of the elastomer, wherein the iodine groups are derived from at least one iodine group-containing crosslinkable monomer selected from the group consisting of diiodomethane, 1,2-diiodoethane, 1,3-diiodopropane, 1,4-diiodobutane, 1,5-diiodopentane, 1,6-diiodohexane, 1,8-diiodooctane, 1,9-diiodononane, 1,10-diiododecane, 1,12-diiodododecane and iodoform.
2. The acrylic elastomer according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one crosslinking group selected from the group consisting of epoxy, carboxy, and active chlorine and having a content of the crosslinking group component other than iodine group of 1.5 mass % or less with respect to the total mass of the elastomer.
3. An acrylic elastomer composition, comprising 100 parts by mass of the acrylic elastomer according to claim 1 , 1 to 7 parts by mass of an organic peroxide, and 1 to 5 parts by mass of an onium salt.
4. The acrylic elastomer composition according to claim 3 , wherein the organic peroxide is a peroxyketal and/or a dialkyl peroxide.
5. The acrylic elastomer composition according to claim 3 , wherein the onium salt is an organic ammonium salt and/or an organic phosphonium salt.
6. A laminate comprising an acrylic elastomer layer of the acrylic elastomer composition according to claim 3 and a fluorine-based elastomer layer of a fluorine-based elastomer composition mainly containing a fluorine-based elastomer having iodine groups as crosslinking groups.
7. A crosslinked product obtained by crosslinking the laminate according to claim 6 .
8. A molded article, comprising the crosslinked product according to claim 7 .
9. The molded article according to claim 8 that is a hose part, a seal part, or an antivibration rubber part.
10. The acrylic elastomer according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinkable monomer is at least one of 1,6-diiodohexane and 1,10-diiododecane.
11. The crosslinked product according to claim 7 , wherein the acrylic elastomer layer and the fluorine-based elastomer layer are crosslinked and bonded to each other as the elastomers are crosslinked with each other at the interface.
