前記エラストマーを、溶媒の存在下で、ジボロン酸化合物と接触させる工程(ジボロン酸接触工程)を含み、
前記溶媒は、SP値10(cal/cm3)1/2以上13(cal/cm3)1/2以下であり、且つ、SP値が8(cal/cm3)1/2以上10(cal/cm3)1/2以下である単一溶媒を少なくとも含む、ことを特徴とする。
更に、架橋後のエラストマー(架橋エラストマー)は、所定の条件下でモノボロン酸化合物と接触させることで、架橋エラストマーの架橋部位において交換反応が起こり、ジボロン酸エステル骨格単位を介した架橋が、モノボロン酸化合物の結合に取って代わる。この点、モノボロン酸化合物は、エラストマーへの結合手の機能を担うボロン酸の数が1個のみであるため、エラストマー同士の連結が解消される(換言すると、脱架橋する)こととなる。よって、本実施形態の架橋方法で用いるエラストマーは、架橋及び脱架橋を容易に行うことができる。
更に、脱架橋させた後のエラストマーは、本実施形態の架橋方法で用いるエラストマーと実質的に同等の構造を有するので、本実施形態の架橋方法を用いれば、エラストマーの脱架橋と再架橋との繰り返しを容易に行うことも期待できる。
