More preferably, it is 30 g / 10 min or less. In this case, when the composite fibers are in contact with each other, the melt of the molten resin material (B) spreads between each other to form a lump-like fiber bonded body. This is preferable because the occurrence of the phenomenon of fusion is reduced. Further, if it is 20 g / 10 min or less, since the fracture resistance of the resin in the sheath portion is increased when the rubber to be fused is peeled off, it is more preferable that the rubber adheres firmly to the rubber.
- the MFR value (g / 10 min) is in accordance with JIS-K-7210.

- the fiber thickness in the present invention means a fiber size (conforming to JIS L 0101) measured with a monofilament alone in the case of a monofilament and with a cord bundled with a monofilament in the case of a bundled monofilament.
- the monofilament cord of the present invention is characterized by high adhesion to rubber even when the thickness of the single fiber of the reinforcing material is 50 dtex or more.
- the fiber thickness of the reinforcing material is less than 50 dtex, even when the fiber is not bonded by the adhesive composition or the fiber resin and the rubber are not fused, the problem of the adhesion with the rubber is less likely to occur. This is because when the diameter of a single fiber is reduced, the stress that the cord cuts is smaller than the force at which the bonded portion peels. Therefore, when the adhesion is evaluated by peeling or the like, the interface between the cord and the rubber is peeled off. This is because the cord is cut before it is cut.
- fluff fluff
- the monofilament of the present invention is characterized in that it has high adhesion to rubber even when the thickness of the single fiber of the reinforcing material is 50 dtex or more, and the cord end can be fused.

- the rubber composition may be appropriately mixed with one or more additives commonly used in the rubber industry such as carbon black, process oil, stearic acid, zinc white, anti-aging agent, vulcanization accelerator, and sulfur. it can.
- the compatibility with the diene rubber containing the styrene component is improved, so that the adhesion with the rubber composition containing the styrene butadiene rubber can be improved.
- the length of the reinforcing material made of the composite fiber is preferably 10 mm or more, and is preferably as long as possible.
- the length of the reinforcing material made of the composite fiber is as short as less than 10 mm, it is necessary to use a method such as kneading into the rubber and extruding when integrating with the rubber, and the rubber coating may be oriented in one direction. It becomes difficult.
- the difference between the short fiber and the long fiber is a difference in whether the end of the fiber acts as a free end or a fixed end. The longer the fibers, the higher the tension bearing ability that is characteristic of the long fibers. Therefore, by appropriately arranging the rubber-fiber composite, it becomes easy to obtain the desired performance in rubber articles such as tires.

If such foreign matter is generated, cracks may develop from the bulky foreign matter in the rubber article due to rolling distortion during use of the tire, and separation may occur. For this reason, when the core-sheath fiber becomes a fiber assembly in the rubber article, the larger the number of filaments bundled, the more difficult the rubber penetrates between the cords and the easier it is to form a lump of foreign matter.

Further, when the cords are arranged in parallel so that the cords are aligned, the sheath resin does not melt and a plurality of cords do not penetrate each other, so that the rubber article can be reinforced without causing a shape change such as a fiber coagulated mass. Therefore, it is preferable.
- the core-sheath conjugate fiber according to the present invention is disposed in a rubber article, it is preferable that the core-sheath conjugate fiber is not brought into contact with the other surface of the cord subjected to the adhesion treatment. More preferably, rubber is interposed between them.
- the reason for this is that even when the melt flow index of the low melting point olefin polymer as in the present invention is used, if the melt melt spreads on the surface of the cord that has been subjected to the adhesion treatment on the surface, the adhesion treatment is performed. This is because a melt is interposed between the cord and the rubber, thereby causing a problem of preventing the adhesion between the cord surface subjected to the adhesion treatment and the rubber.
- examples of the cord subjected to the adhesion treatment on the surface include carcass plies, belts, beads, etc., and rubber is used between the cord and the core-sheath composite fiber according to the present invention.

- the composite of the present invention may be arranged in one layer per reinforcing part or in two or more layers as long as there is no problem in the production of the rubber article to be reinforced. There are no particular restrictions on the number of layers provided.
- the rubber-fiber composite of the present invention can be suitably used for reinforcement of various rubber articles such as tires, and has the desired reinforcement performance while suppressing an increase in the thickness of the rubber article. It can be achieved.
- the composite of the present invention when used for tire reinforcement, it is used with a skeleton material rather than a skeleton material that retains the tire internal pressure and bears the strength of the tire, and suppresses vibration and sound of the tire and cut resistance. It is useful as an insert, flipper, chipper, chafer (canvas chafer) member, etc. used for the purpose of improving the steering stability of the tire by improving the effect of reducing the distortion at the time of tire deformation or improving the tire .
- the tensile strength at break after vulcanization of the reinforcing material in the rubber-fiber composite according to the present invention is preferably 29 N / mm 2 or more, more preferably 40 N / mm 2 or more, and even more preferably 90 N / mm. mm 2 or more, particularly preferably 150 N / mm 2 or more, and the higher the value.

- a strength of 29 N / mm 2 or higher which is higher than the rubber breaking strength, can be obtained.
- such a composite becomes an anisotropic material having sufficient rubber breaking strength in the fiber axis direction. Therefore, in a rubber article provided with this composite, the strain load in such a specific direction is borne. A function can be obtained. If the tensile strength at break of the reinforcing material is less than 29 N / mm 2 , sufficient reinforcing performance may not be obtained in the rubber article after vulcanization.

- the reinforcing layer 4 made of the composite of the present invention is thinner than the reinforcing layer made of the conventional rubberized cord layer, so there is no demerit due to the increase in the thickness of the side portion. Furthermore, since the tire side portion has a temperature of up to about 60 ° C.
- the melting point of the low melting point polyolefin polymer in the sheath portion is 80 ° C. or more, the composite of the present invention is tired. It can be used by applying to rubber articles such as. Further, even during high strain running such as tire puncture running, since the tire temperature is about 110 ° C., the melting point of the low melting point olefin polymer in the sheath according to the present invention is 120 ° C. or higher.
- the temperature level is equivalent to the softening point of the adhesive composition consisting of resorcin / formalin / latex, which is conventionally used for the adhesion treatment of the tire cord surface, the temperature in the general market where the conventional tire cord is used Since it is considered that durability can be secured, it can be used as a cord member for reinforcing a general tire even under severe temperature durability conditions when traveling in the market, which is particularly preferable. Moreover, if the melting point is 135 ° C. or higher, it may be applicable to racing tires and the like that require higher durability at higher strains and higher temperatures than ordinary tires.
- the reinforcing layer 4 only needs to be disposed on at least a part of the bead portion 11 and the sidewall portion 12, and thereby, due to the tension load caused by the composite fiber in the reinforcing layer 4,

- the internal pressure (maximum air pressure) corresponding to the tire maximum load capacity is defined, and the “specified load” refers to the maximum mass allowed to be applied to the tire in the above-mentioned standard.
- the end portion of the reinforcing layer 4 in the present invention since the cut surface of the end portion of the cord is fused to the rubber, there is no restriction due to a crack developing from a non-adhered portion between the cord end and the rubber due to strain. Therefore, it can be disposed in a tire portion that has a high strain, which has been difficult in the past.

本発明のゴム補強用繊維は、芯部が融点150℃以上の高融点樹脂(A)からなり、鞘部が、高融点樹脂(A)よりも融点の低い樹脂材料(B)からなる芯鞘型の複合繊維よりなるものである。
また、スチレン成分を多く含むゴム組成物が被着ゴムである場合に、鞘部を構成する樹脂材料(B)がオレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C)あるいはオレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)のみでは接着性が低い課題があるが、スチレン系エラストマーを配合することで、スチレンを含むポリマーへの相容性が良好になり、接着性が改善されるため特に好ましい。
スチレン系エラストマー(E)を構成する、その他の共役ジエン化合物としては、1,3-ブタジエン、イソプレン、1,3-ペンタジエン、2,3-ジメチル-1,3-ブタジエン、2-フェニル-1,3-ブタジエン、1,3-ヘキサジエンなどを、単独でまたは2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができるが、これらの中では、1,3-ブタジエンが好ましい。
スチレン系グラフトポリマーとしては、低密度ポリエチレンを主鎖としてポリスチレンを側鎖に持つオレフィン系グラフト共重合体(LDPE-g-PS)や、ポリプロピレンを主鎖としてスチレン-アクリロニトリル共重合体を側鎖に持つオレフィン系グラフト共重合体(PP-g-AS)などが挙げられる。
本発明においては、これらの中でも特に、ゴムとの接着性および相容性の観点から、スチレン-ブタジエン共重合体、スチレン-ブタジエン-ブチレン-スチレン共重合体およびスチレン-エチレン-ブタジエン-スチレン共重合体あるいは、旭化成ケミカルズ(株)商品S.O.E.品番609などの、両末端にスチレンブロックを、主鎖にスチレンおよびブタジエンのランダム共重合体のブロックを有するブロック共重合体の部分水素添加物を、あるいは低密度ポリエチレンを主鎖としてポリスチレンを側鎖に持つオレフィン系グラフト共重合体(LDPE-g-PS)を、好適に用いることができる。スチレン系エラストマー(E)は、1種を単独で、または、2種以上を適宜組合わせて用いることができる。
スチレン系エラストマー(E)の変性量は、相溶性および作業性の観点から、通常1.0×10-3~1ミリモル/g、好ましくは5.0×10-3~0.5ミリモル/g、より好ましくは1.0×10-2~0.2ミリモル/g、更に好ましくは1.0×10-2~0.1ミリモル/gである。
前記オレフィン系重合体(X)としては、エチレン、プロピレンなどの付加重合が可能なモノマーからなるオレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)、または、エチレンプロピレン共重合体などのオレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C)の群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の重合体を用いる。これら付加重合が可能なモノマーのオレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)およびエチレンプロピレン共重合体などのランダム共重合体(C)は、本発明に係る鞘部の樹脂材料(B)の接着向上や紡糸性の改良などの目的によって、1種類の重合体だけでなく複数種を用いることができる。
これらのうち、繰り返し単位となるモノマー1000個に対し40個以下程度の他のモノマーを含むものを、オレフィン系共重合体(D)として用いることができる。
鞘部において、2種のオレフィン系重合体を併用することで、ゴムとの接着性をより向上させると同時に、本発明のコードを加工する紡糸性や、加工されたコード同士を重ねて圧がかかると互いにくっついてしまうブロッキング性などの性能を、背反することなく両立させることができ、好ましい。
なお、本発明においては、スチレン系重合体については、スチレン単量体を主として連続して配列してなる単独分子鎖を含むブロック共重合体、あるいはグラフト重合体はスチレン系エラストマー(E)であり、スチレンとブタジエンとのランダム共重合体または交互共重合体はオレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C2)に含まれるものとする。
この場合の、ジエン成分を含むオレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C2)におけるジエン含有量は、好適には、1~20質量%、より好ましくは3~15質量%である。さらに、本発明において、オレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)としては、ポリプロピレンやポリエチレンを好適に用いることができる。
このジエン成分を含むオレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C2)を含ませることが好ましい理由は、本発明の芯鞘構造繊維の鞘部の樹脂材料(B)に、低融点でポリマー分子鎖の配向性が低い、オレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C1)あるいはオレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)を含めてゴムに接着させるが、これに、ジエン成分を含むオレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C2)を含ませると、さらに、硫黄による共加硫性をもつ成分が含まれることで、本発明の主な目的とする効果の一つである、接着性が向上するためである。
しかしながら、本発明の芯鞘構造繊維の鞘部の樹脂材料(B)に含まれる、共役ジエンを含むオレフィン系共重合体(C2)の比率が多くなると、一方で、本発明のコードを加工する紡糸性や、加工されたコード同士を重ねて圧がかかると互いにくっついてしまうブロッキング性など、コード製造時の作業性が、背反してしまう場合がある。
具体的には、本発明の芯鞘繊維を製造する紡糸時の糸状形成においては、鞘部のポリマーに、EPDMなどの共役ジエンを含むオレフィン系共重合体(C2)を用いても、芯部の樹脂材料が紡糸応力を主に負担するので、紡糸応力で無定形に伸びて断糸することがないため、紡糸することが可能である。しかしながら、紡糸時のコード表面でゴム状重合体の成分が多くなると、例えば、紡糸加工時に表面の荒れ等の不具合が生じやすくなるため、紡糸速度を遅くすることが必要になるなど、加工時の生産性が低くなる。
さらに、紡糸したコードについても、鞘部の表面被覆に含まれるゴム状重合体の比率が多くなると、コード同士を重ねて圧がかかると互いにくっついてしまうなど、ブロッキングしやすくなる不具合が発生する。ブロッキングが発生すると、ボビン巻の巻出しや、コードを巻き出した後の糸道にあるロール表面で貼りついたり、それにより、コード表面が傷ついてしまうことがある。
エチレンジアミン、ジエチレントリアミン、トリエチレンテトラミン、テトラエチレンペンタミン、ペンタエチレンヘキサミン、ヘキサメチレンジアミン、ポリエチレンイミン等に挙げられる非環式ポリアミンおよびその誘導体並びにその塩、
シクロヘキシルアミンなどの脂環式ポリアミン及びその誘導体並びにこれらの塩、
ヘキサメチレンテトラミンなどの脂環式ポリアミン及びその誘導体並びにこれらの塩、アニリン、アルキルアニリン、ジフェニルアニリン、1-ナフチルアニリン、N-フェニル-1-ナフチルアミン等に挙げられる芳香族モノアミン及びその誘導体ならびにこれらの塩、
フェニレンジアミン、ジアミノトルエン、N-アルキルフェニレンジアミン、ベンジジン、グアニジン類、n-ブチルアルデヒドアニリン、などの芳香族ポリアミン化合物及びその誘導体、などが挙げられる。
なお、グアニジン類としては、1,3-ジフェニルグアニジン、1,3-ジ-o-トリルグアニジン、1-o-トリルビグアニド、ジカテコールボレートのジ-o-トリルグアニジン塩、1,3-ジ-o-クメニルグアニジン、1,3-ジ-o-ビフェニルグアニジン、1,3-ジ-o-クメニル-2-プロピオニルグアニジン等が挙げられる。これらのうち1,3-ジフェニルグアニジンが反応性が高いので好ましい。
ベンズイミダゾ-ル、プリン、キノリン、ペテリジン、アクリジン、キノキサリン、フタラジンなどの複環式の含窒素化合物及びその誘導体、等を挙げることができる。
また、例えば、窒素原子以外のヘテロ原子を有する複素環式化合物としては、オキサゾリン、チアゾリン等の窒素およびその他のヘテロ原子を含有する複素環式化合物及びその誘導体が挙げられる。
具体的には、水酸化マグネシウム、水酸化カルシウム、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化リチウム、水酸化カリウム、水酸化銅などの金属水酸化物;酸化マグネシウム、酸化カルシウム、酸化亜鉛(亜鉛華)、酸化銅などの金属酸化物;炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸リチウム、炭酸カリウムなどの金属炭酸化物が挙げられる。
これらの中でも、アルカリ金属塩としては、金属水酸化物が好ましく、特に水酸化マグネシウムが好適である。
なお、これら金属塩は、加硫助剤に分類されることもあるが、本発明においては、加硫促進剤に分類する。
これらのうち、N-エチル-N-フェニルジチオカルバミン酸亜鉛、ジメチルジチオカルバミン酸亜鉛、ジエチルジチオカルバミン酸亜鉛、ジブチルジチオカルバミン酸亜鉛は、反応性が高いため望ましい。また促進剤化合物に含まれるアルキル基が大きくなると比較的に無極性であるポリマーの場合では溶解度が高くなる傾向があり、析出などによる表面性状の悪化による紡糸性の低下などが発生しにくいため、ジブチルジチオカルバミン酸亜鉛などは、特に好ましい例である。
カーボンブラックとしては、タイヤ工業において一般的に用いられているSAF、ISAF、HAF、FF、FEF、GPF等が挙げられ、これらのカーボンブラックを単独で用いることも、2種以上を組み合わせて用いることもできる。
カーボンブラックの配合量は、樹脂材料(B)において、オレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C1),(C2)とオレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)を合計した100質量部に対し、0.1~100質量部、好ましくは1~30質量部とすることができる。カーボンブラックの配合量が0.1質量部以上になると、本発明のコードが黒に着色され、タイヤなどでは黒色ゴムと色が一致するため、コードが露出したときなどの色ムラがなくなるため好ましい。カーボンブラックの配合量が1質量部以上になると、カーボンブラックによるポリマー補強効果が得られるため好ましい。一方、30質量部超過になるとカーボンブラック配合樹脂が溶融時に流動化し難くなり、紡糸加工時に糸切れが発生するおそれがある。また、100質量部超過になると、相対的にコードのポリマー成分が少なくなることにより、コード強力が低下するので好ましくない。
なお、鞘部の樹脂材料(B)の、オレフィン系ランダム共重合体(C)あるいはオレフィン系ホモ重合体若しくはオレフィン系共重合体(D)((C)を除く)に、スチレンブロックを含むスチレン系エラストマー(E)を含めると、スチレン成分を含むジエン系ゴムへの相溶性が向上するため、スチレンブタジエンゴムを含むゴム組成物での接着性を向上させることができる。
素材となる熱可塑性樹脂としては、真空乾燥機を用いて乾燥させた、下記表5,6に記載された芯材および鞘材の樹脂を用いた。
1)ゴム補強用コードの作製
