Abstract

A production method, containing the step of: mixing 0.02 to 0.6 parts by mass of an organic peroxide, 0.2 to 300 parts by mass of an inorganic filler, 2 to 15.0 parts by mass of a silane coupling agent, and a silanol condensation catalyst, based on 100 parts by mass of a polyolefin-based resin, in which the inorganic filler has an X value specified by Formula (I) satisfies 5 to 1050,

X=ΣA/B   Formula (I)
wherein, ΣA denotes a total amount of a product of a BET specific surface area (m 2 /g) of the inorganic filler and a blending amount of the inorganic filler, and B denotes a blending amount of the silane coupling agent; and a crosslinkable resin composition and a crosslinked resin molded body produced by the production method; and a silane master batch and a molded article.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of producing a crosslinked resin molded body, the method comprising:
(1) mixing 0.02 to 0.6 parts by mass of an organic peroxide, 0.2 to 300 parts by mass of an inorganic filler, 2 to 15.0 parts by mass of a silane coupling agent, and a silanol condensation catalyst, based on 100 parts by mass of a polyolefin-based resin comprising a styrene-based elastomer, to obtain a mixture;
(2) molding the mixture obtained in (1) to obtain a molded body; and
(3) contacting the molded body obtained in (2) with water, to obtain a crosslinked resin molded body,
wherein:
the mixing (1) comprises:
(a) mixing the organic peroxide, the inorganic filler in which an X value specified by Formula (I) satisfies 5 to 1050, and the silane coupling agent, to obtain a mixture (a):
X=ΣA/B   (I),

in which:
ΣA denotes a total amount of a product of a BET specific surface area (m 2 /g) of the inorganic filler and a blending amount of the inorganic filler, and
B denotes a blending amount of the silane coupling agent;
(b) melting and mixing the mixture (a) with a whole or part of the polyolefin-based resin at a temperature equal to or higher than a decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide, to obtain a melted mixture (b);
(c) mixing the silanol condensation catalyst with, as a carrier resin, a resin different from the polyolefin-based resin or a remaining portion of the polyolefin-based resin, to obtain a mixture (c); and
(d) mixing the melted mixture (b) with the mixture (c).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a mixing amount of the silane coupling agent is more than 4 parts by mass and 15.0 parts by mass or less, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyolefin-based resin.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silane coupling agent is vinyltrimethoxysilane or vinyltriethoxysilane.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic filler is at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, kaolin, zinc borate, zinc hydroxystannate, and talc.

5.

(a) mixing the organic peroxide, the inorganic filler in which an X value specified by Formula (I) satisfies 5 to 1050, and the silane coupling agent, to obtain a mixture (a):
X=ΣA/B   (I),

wherein:
ΣA denotes a total amount of a product of a BET specific surface area (m 2 /g) of the inorganic filler and a blending amount of the inorganic filler, and
B denotes a blending amount of the silane coupling agent;

(b) melting and mixing the mixture (a) with a whole or part of the polyolefin-based resin at a temperature equal to or higher than a decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide, to obtain a melted mixture (b);
(c) mixing the silanol condensation catalyst with, as a carrier resin, a resin different from the polyolefin-based resin or a retraining portion of the polyolefin-based resin, to obtain a mixture (c); and
(d) mixing the melted mixture (b) with the mixture (c).

6. A crosslinkable resin composition produced by the method of claim 5 .

7. A crosslinked resin molded body produced by the method of claim 1 .

8. A molded article, comprising the crosslinked resin molded body of claim 7 .

9. A silane master batch used for producing a crosslinkable resin composition prepared by mixing 0.02 to 0.6 parts by mass of an organic peroxide, 0.2 to 300 parts by mass of an inorganic filler, 2 to 15.0 parts by mass of a silane coupling agent, and a silanol condensation catalyst, based on 100 parts by mass of a polyolefin-based resin comprising a styrene-based elastomer, wherein the silane master batch is prepared through the following steps (a) and (b):
