- the transport belt 1 is configured as an endless belt, and has a base layer 2 and a surface layer 3 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the base layer 2.
- the transport belt 1 may be composed of only the base layer 2 and the surface layer 3, or another layer such as an adhesive layer may be appropriately provided between the base layer 2 and the surface layer 3.

- a squeaking sliding noise may be generated.
- the transport belt 1 since the base layer 2 and the surface layer 3 each have the configurations described below, sliding noise is generated due to the contact and sliding of the blades even during durability. , It is hard to happen.

- the base layer 2 is formed in a tubular shape and has a seamless structure having no seams in the circumferential direction.
- the base layer 2 contains at least one of polyimide and polyamide-imide.
- the polyimide and polyamide-imide may be functionally modified. Since polyimide and polyamide-imide are excellent in rigidity and durability, they can be suitably used as a constituent material of the base layer 2 of the transport belt 1. In particular, it is preferable to form the base layer 2 using polyimide.

Since it is difficult to eliminate the deformation even if the shaft member is separated, deformation is likely to be accumulated on the surface of the transport belt 1 after a long-term rotational motion. Such deformation of the transport belt 1 leads to the formation of damage such as cracks and the generation of vibration.

- the surface layer was formed by applying each of the resin compositions formed above to the surface of the base layer by a dipping method, and further heating at 160 ° C. for 30 minutes to cause a curing reaction.
- the thickness of the surface layer was 45 ⁇ m for all the samples.

- -Silicone leveling agent "x-22-4515” manufactured by Shinetsu Kogyo Co., Ltd.
- Micro-hardness of the surface layer The micro-hardness of the surface layer formed by using each resin composition was measured with respect to the form of the transport belt having the surface layer formed on the base layer. The measurement was performed using a microhardness meter. The load applied to the stylus at the time of measurement was 5.0 mN.
- Abrasion resistance A durability test was conducted in which each transport belt was set on the paper transport unit and rotated at a peripheral speed of 420 mm / sec for 240 hours. The film thickness before and after the durability test was measured with an eddy current meter, and the difference in film thickness (decrease) was taken as the amount of wear. Those with a wear amount of 3 ⁇ m or less were evaluated as “A”, those with a wear amount of more than 3 ⁇ m and 5 ⁇ m or less were evaluated as “B”, and those with a wear amount of more than 5 ⁇ m were evaluated as “C”. When the evaluation results are A and B, it can be determined that the wear resistance is sufficient. On the other hand, when the evaluation result is C, it is determined that the wear resistance is not sufficient.
- Tables 3 and 4 below show the configurations of the transport belts according to Examples 1 to 19 and Comparative Examples 1 to 11 and the evaluation results.
- the types of the compositions used for forming the surface layer (the above compositions A-1 to A7, the compositions B to J, the compositions K1 to K4 and the compositions L to M), and the siloxane concentration of the silicone modifier. It also shows the amount added, the measured value of the minute hardness, and the type, elastic modulus, and thickness of the resin used to form the base layer.
- the lower part shows the evaluation result of the conveyor belt.
- the base layer is made of polyimide having an elastic modulus of 3 GPa or more and 7 GPa or less, and the surface layer is 1 phr of a fluororesin having a hydroxyl group and a silicone modifier. It is configured as a cured product of the resin composition added in an amount of 5 phr or more.
- the silicone modifier has a hydroxyl group, and the content ratio of the siloxane unit is 40 mol% or more and 70 mol% or less.
- the evaluation result of the sliding sound is evaluation B or higher, and the effect of suppressing the sliding sound during durability is obtained.
- the wear resistance, bending resistance, and durable slipperiness of the surface layer are also evaluated as B or higher, and excellent in each of these characteristics is effective in suppressing sliding noise. Can be interpreted as demonstrating.
- the surface smoothness of the surface layer is also high.
- Comparative Example 11 As the silicone modifier added to the surface layer, the copolymer containing the silicone unit and the other type unit is not used, but the silicone oil itself is used instead. Therefore, sufficient durable slipperiness is not obtained on the surface layer. As a result, the sliding suppression effect during durability has not been sufficiently achieved.
- Comparative Examples 1 to 4 a resin composition containing a silicone copolymer is used as the silicone modifier, but the siloxane concentration in the silicone copolymer or the amount of the silicone copolymer added is within the above-mentioned predetermined range. not.
- the siloxane concentration in the silicone modifier is less than 40 mol%.
- the siloxane concentration is higher than 70 mol%.
- the siloxane concentration should be in the range of 40 mol% or more and 70% or less. It can be said that it is important.
- the amount of the silicone modifier added to the surface layer forming composition is less than 1 phr. Correspondingly, sufficient durable slipperiness has not been obtained on the surface layer. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 4, the amount of the silicone modifier added exceeds 5 phr. Correspondingly, sufficient durable slipperiness has not been obtained on the surface layer. From these results, in order to ensure durable slipperiness in the surface layer and sufficiently contribute to suppressing sliding noise during durability, the amount of the silicone modifier added to the surface layer forming composition should be 1 phr or more. Moreover, it can be said that it is important to keep it in the range of 5 phr or less.
- the elastic modulus of the base layer is less than 3 GPa.
- the durable slipperiness is low.
- the elastic modulus of the base layer exceeds 7 GPa.
- the bending resistance and the durable slipperiness are lowered. From these results, in order to secure high durability slip resistance and bending resistance as a whole of the transport belt and sufficiently suppress sliding noise during durability, the base layer should be made of polyimide with an elastic modulus of 3 GPa or more and 7 GPa or less. It can be said that it is important to configure. The same effect can be obtained when the constituent material of the base layer is polyamide-imide.
- Examples 1 to 14 are compared with each other. Comparing Examples 1 to 4, which differ only in the siloxane concentration in the silicone modifier, in Examples 1, 2 and 4 in which the siloxane concentration is 45 mol% or more, the siloxane concentration is less than 45 mol%. Compared with Example 3, a particularly excellent effect of suppressing sliding noise and durable slipperiness are obtained. In particular, in Example 1 in which the siloxane concentration is 60 mol% or more, the sliding noise suppressing effect and the durable slipperiness are very high. From these results, by increasing the siloxane concentration in the silicone modifier to 45 mol% or more, further to 60 mol% or more, the durable slipperiness in the surface layer is effectively improved, and as a result, the sliding noise is obtained.
- Example 5 in which the siloxane concentration is further increased to 70 mol% is compared with Example 1, the sliding sound suppressing effect is slightly lower. From these results, it can be said that the siloxane concentration in the silicone modifier is particularly preferably 45 mol% or more, further 60 mol% or more, but it is preferable to keep it lower than 70 mol% with a margin.
- Example 1 Comparing Examples 1, 6 and 7, which differ only in the amount of the silicone modifier added, in Example 1 in which the amount added is 2 phr or more and 3 phr or less, particularly high durability slipperiness and suppression of sliding noise are obtained. The effect has been obtained. Further, when Examples 1, 11 and 12 that differ only in the micro-hardness of the surface layer are compared with each other, the higher the micro-hardness, the slightly lower the sliding noise suppressing effect and the bending resistance, while the micro-hardness is higher. The lower the value, the lower the sliding noise suppressing effect, wear resistance, and durable slipperiness. In Example 1 having an intermediate fine hardness, it can be said that a particularly high effect of suppressing sliding noise is obtained by having an excellent balance of wear resistance, durable slip resistance, and bending resistance.
- the silicone modifier is composed of an acrylate-modified silicone oil and a silicone copolymer composed of methyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
- Butyl methacrylate is used instead of methyl methacrylate (Silicone F in Table 1).
- Example 10 differs from Example 1 only in the molecular structure of the silicone modifier, but Example 1 is more effective in suppressing sliding noise. From this, it can be said that the sliding noise can be effectively suppressed by using the acrylate-modified silicone oil and the silicone copolymer composed of methyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate as the silicone modifier. It is presumed that using a unit having a small number of carbon atoms as another type of unit constituting the silicone copolymer together with the silicone unit exerts a greater effect of improving the slipperiness brought about by the silicone unit.
- Examples 1, 8 and 9 are different from each other in the elastic modulus of the base layer.
- the durable slipperiness is higher than that of Examples 8 and 9.
- Bending resistance is also high. From this, it can be said that when the elastic modulus of the base layer is 4 GPa or more and 6 GPa or less, both durable slipperiness and bending resistance are excellent, and as a result, a high sliding noise suppressing effect can be obtained.
- Examples 1, 13 and 14 are different from each other in the thickness of the base layer. In Example 1, the bending resistance is superior to that in Example 14 in which the base layer is relatively thick, and as a result, a high sliding noise suppressing effect is obtained.
- Example 13 Even in comparison with Example 13 in which the base layer is relatively thin, the effect of suppressing sliding noise is high.
- the base layer since the base layer is relatively thin, some wrinkles are generated on the transport belt when the transport belt is attached to the paper transport unit, so that the sliding noise suppressing effect is achieved in the thirteenth embodiment. It is not as high as in the case of 1.
- the base layer is made of polyimide having an elastic modulus of 3 GPa or more and 7 GPa or less
- the surface layer is a fluororesin having a hydroxyl group and a silicone modifier.
- the silicone modifier has a hydroxyl group, and the content ratio of the siloxane unit is 95 mol% or more and less than 100 mol%.
- the evaluation result of the sliding sound is evaluation A or higher, and the effect of suppressing the sliding sound during durability is obtained. , Very expensive.
- the wear resistance, bending resistance, and durable slipperiness of the surface layer are also evaluated as A or higher, and excellent in each of these characteristics is effective in suppressing sliding noise. It can be interpreted as doing.
- a resin composition containing a silicone polymer is used as the silicone modifier, but the siloxane concentration in the silicone copolymer or the amount of the silicone copolymer added is within the above-mentioned predetermined range.
- the siloxane concentration in the silicone modifier is less than 95 mol%.
- the siloxane concentration is 100 mol%.
- the siloxane concentration should be in the range of 95 mol% or more and less than 100%. It can be said that it is important.
- the amount of the silicone modifier added to the surface layer forming composition is less than 1 phr. Correspondingly, sufficient durable slipperiness has not been obtained on the surface layer. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 10, the amount of the silicone modifier added exceeds 5 phr. Correspondingly, sufficient durable slipperiness has not been obtained on the surface layer. From these results, in order to ensure durable slipperiness in the surface layer and sufficiently contribute to suppressing sliding noise during durability, the amount of the silicone modifier added to the surface layer forming composition should be 1 phr or more. Moreover, it can be said that it is important to keep it in the range of 5 phr or less.
- Examples 15 to 19 are compared with each other, when the siloxane concentration in the silicone copolymer becomes higher, the surface smoothness tends to decrease (Examples 15 and 17), but it is fluorine-based or It can be seen that the decrease in surface smoothness can be suppressed by adding a silicone-based leveling agent.
