The present invention relates to polymer compositions for electron beam crosslinking. In recent years, with the spread of large-scale electron beam accelerators, electron beam crosslinking of rubber, plastics, paints, adhesives, etc. is becoming popular. Electron beam crosslinking has the following advantages over conventional heating crosslinking processes: (1) it is more energy efficient; (2) it does not require crosslinking agents or crosslinking accelerators; (3) it has an extremely high crosslinking rate; and (4) it is a continuous crosslinking process. It has many advantages such as: On the other hand, electron beams have a low ability to penetrate objects to be irradiated, and in particular polymer compositions containing high-density fillers such as carbon black, under normal irradiation conditions, emit light in the form of a thin sheet with a thickness of about 1 mm at most. It has the disadvantage that it can only be effectively applied to tubular or linear bodies. The present inventors have completed the present invention as a result of various studies to overcome this drawback, increase the efficiency of electron beam crosslinking, and enable electron beam crosslinking of thick materials. be. That is, the present invention applies acetylene black or black to a polymer having an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, a maleyl group, or an allyl group introduced into the side chain of a polymer having carbon or carbon double bonds by an addition reaction, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymer. Conductive carbon black 1 selected from Arnes Black
The present invention relates to a polymer composition for electron beam crosslinking, characterized in that the volume resistivity of the composition after crosslinking is 10 7 Ω·cm or less. The polymer composition of the present invention has a crosslinking density about 2 to 3 times higher than that of conventional compositions under normal electron beam irradiation conditions, and has a high electron beam transmission ability, so that it is difficult to achieve satisfactory crosslinking by 2 to 3 mm. can be easily crosslinked. The content of the present invention will be explained in detail below. An electron beam crosslinkable polymer is a type of polymer in which a crosslinking reaction proceeds preferentially by electron beam irradiation, and the electron beam crosslinkable polymer used in the present invention can quickly undergo addition polymerization by electron beam irradiation. It is a modified polymer in which a functional group such as an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, a maleyl group, or an allyl group is introduced into the side chain. The polymer composition of the present invention may contain a polyfunctional monomer and an electron beam crosslinking accelerator that rapidly co-crosslink by electron beam irradiation, if necessary. Examples of polyfunctional monomers include polyhydric alcohols such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters, triallyl trimellitate, etc.
Disulfide compounds, triphenylphosphine, 2-oxazoline, etc. are commonly used as crosslinking accelerators. Conductive carbon black is a carbon black that can impart high conductivity when filled into polymers such as rubber and plastics, and can reduce the specific volume resistivity of the polymer to 10 7 Ω・cm or less. As conductive carbon black, acetylene black such as Denka Black (manufactured by Denki Kagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd., trade name), and

(Both manufactured by CABOT, USA, product name), Asahi HS-
A conductive furnace black such as 500 (manufactured by Asahi Carbon Co., Ltd., trade name) is used. The conductive carbon black is blended in an amount of 1 to 80 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymer component. If the amount is less than this, the specific volume resistivity of the polymer is
It is difficult to reduce the resistance to 10 7 Ω・cm or less, while 80
Polymers containing conductive carbon black in excess of parts by weight have poor kneading workability and significant deterioration of physical properties, making them impractical. In addition to conductive carbon black, ordinary non-conductive carbon black can be blended into the polymer composition. Examples of non-conductive carbon blacks are SAN (N110), ISAF (N220), and HAF.
(N330), FF (N440), FEF (N550), GPF
(N660), SFR (N770), FT (N880), MT
(N990), etc. are typical examples. The addition of these highly reinforcing carbon blacks improves the physical properties of the polymer composition. In addition to crosslinking by electron beam irradiation alone, the polymer compositions of the present invention can be used in pre-crosslinking processes that are carried out in the production lines of rubber and plastic products. Uncrosslinked polymer compositions containing conventional crosslinking agents that crosslink polymers by heating are partially precrosslinked by electron beam irradiation, which improves green strength and prevents deformation, improving production line productivity. improvement, improved workability,
Extremely useful for improving quality control. The polymer composition of the present invention has a high crosslinking rate and can be crosslinked with electron beams to thick materials, thereby widening the range of applications for pre-crosslinking. As the crosslinking agent for thermal crosslinking, any common crosslinking agent such as sulfur, organic peroxides, metal oxides, organic polyvalent amines, resin crosslinking agents, etc. can be used. In particular, sulfur-loaded polymer compositions are useful in pre-crosslinking processes in production lines for tires, belts, hoses, and the like. The polymer composition for electron beam crosslinking of the present invention usually includes reinforcing agents, fillers, softeners, plasticizers, tackifiers, crosslinking accelerators, crosslinking accelerators, lubricants, anti-aging agents, colorants, waxes, etc. It is possible to optionally add the fillers used. Electron beam crosslinking is usually carried out under irradiation conditions with a dose of 3 to 50 Mrad and an accelerating voltage of 50 to 10,000 KeV. The irradiation may be done on one side or on both sides. The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples. In the main text and examples, the specific volume resistivity is
Measured according to ASTM D991-60. The degree of swelling was calculated by the following formula using the weight swelling ratio after swelling a crosslinked polymer with a size of 5 x 10 x 1 (or 2) mm in a toluene solvent at 25°C for 6 hours. Weight swelling ratio (%) = total weight of swollen polymer/weight of polymer before swelling x 100 The tensile test was performed using an Instron tensile tester, and the dynamic elastic modulus was measured using a viscoelasticity spectrometer. It should be noted that all blended parts in the examples are expressed in parts by weight. Example 1 In the presence of t-butyl hypochlorite, 2.87 g of methacrylic acid was added to 100 g of ethylene-propylene ternary copolymer rubber (EP33, manufactured by Nippon Gosei Rubber Co., Ltd., trade name).

A rubber composition containing Black EC and HAF, a conventional non-conductive carbon black, in various proportions (the composition is shown in Table 1) was formed into a 2 mm thick sheet, and a dose of 10 Mrad was applied at an accelerating voltage of 500 KeV and a current of 100 mA. was irradiated to perform electron beam crosslinking. Table 1 shows the specific volume resistivity, degree of swelling, and tensile test results at 80°C for each sample. The specific volume resistivity is increased by the combination of conductive carbon.
10 7 Ω·cm or less, a decrease in the degree of swelling and an improvement in each measurement result of the tensile test were observed, and it is clear that the electron beam crosslinking efficiency is improved even in a 2 mm thick sheet.
