Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cushioning material excellent in distribution of the indentation pressure caused by the human body (hereinafter referred to as pressure distribution) and in durability, which is prepared by treating with water a composite comprising a polymer substance swellable in water and a polymer substance having a nonhydrolyzable crosslinked structure to cause expansion by swelling to a volume as large as 3 to 15 times the orginal volume.
  • the invention relates also to a cushioning product comprising said cushioning material and an exterior package impervious to water.
  • the polymer substances swellable in water are generally in powder form, the aqueous swollen mixture changes into a jelly-like semifluid retaining some degrees of fluidity and, as a consequence, presents problems such that when a breakdown took place in some part of the exterior package, which prevents the cushioning product from loss of water by evaporation, by the exertion of a momentary large pressure or by the puncture with a needle-like article, the swollen jelly-like polymer substance will burst out. Furthermore, owing to the low mechanical strengths of the swollen polymer substance itself, there occurs breakdown of the polymer substance by frequent use of the cushioning product, resulting in decline of the cushioning action, that is, reduction in the durability of the product.
  • Cushioning products excellent in the pressure distribution are those which utilize the cushioning characteristics of water, as exemplified by water mat or water bed which is used many hours a day by disabled persons or patients. Although excellent in pressure distribution, the cushioning product utilizing water as cushioning material gives rise to a phenomenon of pitching and rolling when the user changes the body position, causing the user to suffer from "seasickness" just like what the user will experience on a boat on a stormy day.
  • cushioning products utilizing as cushioning material a gel-like substance in place of water have been developed and in actual use.
  • Such a product has a disadvantage of inferior pressure distribution as compared with a cushioning product employing water as cushioning base material.
  • To improve, even in a minor degree, the pressure distribution it is necessary to increase the thickness of cushioning material.
  • the increase in thickness accompanies an increase in the weight of cushioning products and only an insufficient improvement in the pressure distribution.
  • There is a strong demand for the improvement of pressure distribution among disabled persons, patients, and persons engaged in sedentary work e.g. drivers of trucks, buses, and electric locomotives).
  • the primary object of this invention is to provide a novel cushioning material and a cushioning product which makes use of said novel cushioning material.
  • a cushioning material excellent in pressure distribution and in durability which is produced by subjecting a polymer composition swellable in water comprising a polymer substance and a polymer substance swellable in water to crosslinking treatment and allowing the resulting crosslinked composition to swell in water to a volume of 3 to-15 times the original volume, and also there is provided a cushioning product comprising said cushioning material and an exterior package impervious to water.
  • the crosslinked polymer substance has a nonhydrolyzable crosslinked structure.
  • examples of polymer substances capable of forming nonhydrolyzable crosslinkage include ethylene-a-olefin copolymer rubbers, ethylene-a-olefin-noncojugated diene terpolymer rubbers (hereinafter these copolymers and terpolymers are referred to collectively as ethylene-base rubbers), styrene-butadiene rubbers (SBR), isobutylene-isoprene rubbers (IIR), butadiene rubbers (BR), acryl rubbers (ACM), chloroprene rubbers (CR), various thermoplastic elastomers, natural rubber (NR), resins such as polyethylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. These polymers are used each alone or in mixtures.
  • SBR styrene-butadiene rubbers
  • IIR isobutylene-isoprene rubbers
  • BR butadiene rubbers
  • ACM acryl rubbers
  • CR
  • the nonhydrolyzable crosslinkage is formed by use of crosslinking agents suitable for each polymer such as sulfur, organic peroxides, and metal oxides. According to this invention, it is of important significance for the production of cushioning products excellent in durability to use a polymer substance having a nonhydrolyzable crosslinkage structure. If rubbers or resins having no crosslinked structure are used, there is produced no durable product. A hydrolyzable crosslinked structure such as a crosslinked urethane structure is gradually broken down to deteriorate the durability of cushioning products.
  • polymer substances listed above most preferred are ethylene-base rubbers because of excellent resistances to water and bacteria, and good low temperature properties, and high loading property of fillers.
  • a-olefins used in the ethylene-base rubbers mention may be made of propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-keptene, 1-decene, 4-methyl-l-pentene, and 4-methyl-l-hexene.
  • Typical of these a-olefins are propylene and 1-butene.
  • nonconjugated dienes are 1,4-hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, and ethylidene norbornene.
  • the weight ratio of ethylene to a-olefin in the ethylene-base rubbers is from 90/10 to 20/80, preferably from 75/25 to 40/60.
  • the nonconjugated diene is used in an amount of 0 to 50, preferably 0 to 25 in terms of iodine value.
  • polymer substances swellable in water there may be mentioned saponified ethylene-vinyl ester of carboxylic acid-acrylate ester copolymers, crosslinked acrylic acid-acrylate salt copolymers, saponified starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymers, cross- linked alkali metal salts of starch-acrylic acid graft polymers, alkali metal salts of the reaction product between polyvinyl alcohol and maleic anhydride, salts of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, crosslinked polyethylene glycols, and saponified polyacrylonitrile.
  • saponified ethylene-vinyl easter of carboxylic acid-acrylate ester copolymers and crosslinked acrylic acid-acrylate salt copolymers because cf excellent swellability in water.
  • crosslinking agents used in forming the crosslinked structure are sulfur crosslinking agents comprising sulfur and, if necessary, a properly selected accelerators, peroxide crosslinking agents comprising peroxides and, if necessary, a properly selected crosslinking aids, quinoid crosslinking agents, and resin crosslinking agents.
  • sulfur crosslinking agents particularly useful are sulfur crosslinking agents because of their versatility which permits crosslinking under varied conditions of temperature and time by proper selection of the type and quantity of accelerators and because of excellent physical properties of the vulcanizate.
  • the nonhydrolyzable crosslinkage, as herein referred to, can be formed also by the exposure to an electron beam or ultraviolet rays, not necessarily in the presence of a crosslinking agent.
  • the composite of this invention comprising a swellable polymer substance and a polymer substance having a nonhydrolyzable crosslinked structure is obtained generally from a swellable polymer in the form of powder or, preferably, fine powder, a polymer substance capable of forming nonhydrolyzable crosslinkage, a crosslinking agent forming said crosslinkage, and, if necessary, various additives such as organic or inorganic fillers including carbon black, talc, clay, calcium carbonate, and silica, plasticizers such as a process oil, blowing agents, blowing aids, antioxidants, processing aids, various stabilizers, pigments, and rust preventives.
  • carbon black, white fillers, and process oil are preferred, because they impart to the cushioning material mechanical strengths or a soft touch or serve as an extender to reduce the cost.
  • the fillers which are used if necessary, are preferably those having a high hydrophilicity such as clay which has also good reinforcing properties. Carbon black and talc which are both hydrophobic are used, in most cases, in combination with hydrophilic fillers.
  • the process oil is used in relatively large proportion because of its effectiveness in improving the swelling degree by imparting flexibility to the crosslinked rubber. The addition of a surface ative agent is effective in increasing the rate of swelling.
  • the swellable polymer substance is used in an amount of 10 to 300, preferably 20 to 150, parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the rubber material. When a large amount of fillers are used, the swellable polymer substance is used also in a large amount exceeding 300 parts by weight.
  • sulfur can be used as crosslinking agent in an amount of 0.05 to 10 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the rubber material. In case a high degree of swelling is intended, sulfur is used in an amount as low as 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, whereas a higher amount of sulfur is favorable for the improvement in durability.
  • the amount added of carbon black and white fillers which are used if necessary is 0 to 1,000, preferably 50 to 600, parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the rubber material.
  • the process oil is used in an amount of 0 to 1,000, preferably 10 to 600, parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of rubber. With the increase in the amount of carbon black or white fillers, a larger amount of process oil is added.
  • the surface active agent is used in an amount of 0 to 200, preferably 5 to 100, parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of rubber. With the increase in the amount of fillers and with the decrease in the amount of process oil a larger amount of surface active agent is used but in some cases the upper limit is imposed to avoid the risk of bleeding.
  • a foamed body of the crosslinked material by use of a blowing agents and a blowing aids from the view point of the rapid and increased swelling in water and the improvement in the touch of cushioning products.
  • a foamed body is produced in case where the starting rubber material has sufficiently high strength and elongation.
  • the blowing agent and blowing aid are used in an amount of 1 to 50, preferably 3 to 20, parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the rubber materials.
  • the rubber composition described above is subjected to crosslinking treatment.
  • the primary purpose of crosslinking is to prevent the swollen material from breaking crack which tends to occur owing to a large volume increase by the swelling and to impart durability to the swollen cushioning material.
  • the crosslinking treatment therefore, is an important step for the cushioning material to achieve a high durability in practical sense.
  • the crosslinked rubber material has excellent physical properties and swelling characteristics, and desirably has a low modulus of 10 kg ⁇ f/cm 2 or below, preferably 5 kg-f/cm 2 or below at 300% elongation for the excellent cushioning characteristics and the soft touch as in this invention.
  • the cushioning material of this invention employing a crosslinked rubber material of low modulus is excellent in the above properties and is suitable for use in the cushioning products for disabled persons and patients who are unable to move freely the body, because it is necessary for these people to use a cushioning product not interfering with the blood circulation.
  • a base polymer substance having a large tensile strength and a large elongation at rupture is used in the cushioning material of low tensile modulus (i.e. low tensile stress at given elongation).
  • a swelling treatment with water is carried out to produce a large volume increase. It was found that in order to prevent the highly swollen cushioning material from rupture, it is desirable to use a base rubber having a high tensile strength and a high elongation at rupture. This is important especially in the case where it is required to increase the swelling degree. Excellent results are obtained by using a base rubber having a tensile strength of 8 kg-f/cm2 or above and an elongation at rupture of 500% or above.
  • the tensile strength and the elongation at rupture are determined at 20°C and at a extension rate of 500 mm/minute by using No. 3 dumbbell test pieces, 2 mm in thickness, as specified in JIS K-6301.
  • ethylene-a-olefin copolymer rubbers As most suitable polymer substances, there are used ethylene-a-olefin copolymer rubbers and ethylene-w olefin-nonconjugated diene terpolymer rubbers.
  • a base rubber having a high tensile strength and a high elongation at rupture, a relatively large amount of a process oil, and a small amount of a crosslinking agent, the crosslinking time being sufficiently short.
  • the compounding materials including polymer substances, swellable polymer substances, and crosslinking agents are mixed by means of a Banbury mixer, kneader, or mixing rolls.
  • the resulting rubber composition is formed into sheeting, plate, ribbon, rod, and any other shapes.
  • the formed rubber composition can be corrugated, punched, or cut to chips or strips to accelerate the rate of swelling or to improve the cushioning characteristics.
  • the method of molding and crosslinking can be freely selected to meet the intended use of the product.
  • Typical examples of molding and crosslinking processes include a press curing, an autoclave curing, a combination of the extrusion molding and the continuous vulcanization in a suitable equipment, and simultaneous molding and curing by the injection molding process.
  • the conditions for the crosslinking treatment vary depending on the intended use of the product and the crosslinking process, it is general practice to carry out the crosslinking by heating at a temperature of 100° to 250°C for a period of several minutes to several hours.
  • the swelling treatment is performed by the immersion of the crosslinked molded material into an aqueous medium which may contain, if necessary, additives such as fungicides and alcohol.
  • the aqueous medium is generally at room temperature or can be moderately heated.
  • the immersion time is freely selected but it is desirable to attain a high degree of swelling in a short time.
  • the conditions for the immersion are selected so as to increase the volume of molded material to three times the original volume or more. Although cushioning characteristics such as pressure distribution become better with the increase in the degree of swelling, yet an excessive increase of the volume by swelling results in deterioration of durability and tends to cause the seasickness. For this reason, it is desirable to adjust the final volume to be as large as 3 to 15 times the original volume. To achieve such a high degree of swelling in a short period of time, it is desirable to select a highly swellable polymer and to use such a polymer in an increased amount.
  • the swollen cushioning material obtained as described above is packed in a package impervious to water in order to protect the swollen material from volatilization loss of water.
  • impervious materials are polyethylene film, flexible polyvinyl chloride film, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film.
  • the resulting cushioning product is combined with an auxiliary cushioning material such as urthane foam, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam, foam rubber, or cotton.
  • the cushioning product can be packed in an outermost covering made of cloth, leather, or sheet metals.
  • the crosslinked rubber material is placed in a package and, before use, is allowed to swell by the addition of water.
  • test pieces each 150 x 150 x 5 mm, were cut from crosslinked rubber sheets obtained in Examples 5, 6 and 7 which showed desirable swelling characteristics and from the rubber sheet of Comparative Example 3.
  • the test pieces were kept at room temperature in an aqueous solution containing 0.2% by weight of butyl p-hydroxybenzoate until they become about 300 x 300 mm in size.
  • the swollen rubber sheet of about 300 mm square obtained from Examples 5, 6 and 7 and Comparative Example 3 after treatments shown in Tables 2 and 3 were tested for the hardness and each pair of swollen test pieces were placed one over the other, then packed in polyethylene film, 50 p in thickness, then heat sealed, further packed in a polyvinyl chloride film covering, and sealed tightly by means of a high frequency welder to obtain a cushioning product.
  • Hydraulic oscillation fatigue tester of the electronic type was used.
  • the cushioning product was compressed by means of an indentor plate, 200 mm in diameter, at a rate of 4 Kg/second to an ultimate load of 100 Kg.
  • the strain corresponding to a load was determined from the record stress-strain curve.
  • Compression endurance was then tested by subjecting the test piece to 80,000 cycles of repeated compression at a rate of 60 cpm under a load of 10 Kg to 100 Kg.
  • the permanent deformation in thickness after the test was recorded as permanent set.
  • a brick carrying a load thereon (26 Kg in total) was placed on the test piece and pulled horizontally so that the brick may slide on the surface.
  • the displacement of brick was measured at a tractive force of 2 Kg and 4 Kg.
  • a total of 46 pressure sensors were arranged over the test specimen at a longitudinal interval of 30 mm and a lateral interval of 20 mm to detect the distribution of pressure exerted to the specimen by a test person sitting thereon.
  • the test results were as shown in Table 4.
  • the cushioning product of Comparative Example 4 is a commercial product comprising a gel-like substance produced by Company A in USA.
  • the cushioning product of Comparable Example 3 is poor in repeated compression endurance and is unsuitable for practical use.
  • Excellent characteristics were shown by the cushioning products of Example 5, 6 and 7, which were obtained by the swelling treatment of crosslinked rubber materials. Although thinner in thickness and lighter in weight, these cushioning products showed characteristics favorably comparable to those of the cushioning product made from commercial gel-like material.
  • the pressure distribution was better, maximum pressure being lower, in the case of a person of the slender type like the test person B, wherein the indentation body pressure tends to concentrate in the region around the ischium or coccyx.

Abstract

Un matériau pour coussin constitué d'un composite d'un matériau de poids moléculaire élevé gonflable à l'eau et d'un matériau de poids moléculaire élevé de structure réticulée du type non-hydrolysant, subit avec l'eau absorbée une augmentation de volume supérieure à trois fois son volume initial sans toutefois atteindre 15 fois ce dernier, et présente une excellente répartition de la pression ainsi qu'une excellente longévité. D'autre part, on obtient un coussin en enveloppant le matériau pour coussin d'un matériau imperméable à l'eau. Il est préférable que le matériau à poids moléculaire élevé soit constitué d'un matériau caoutchouc possédant une résistance à la rupture égale ou supérieure à 8 kgf/cm2 et un allongement minimal à la rupture de 500%. Après réticulation, le matériau à haut poids moléculaire présente la contrainte maximale de 5 kgf/cm2 à 300% d'allongement.
