Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device with sufficiently reduced occurrence of both swelling destruction and blister destruction. The gas seal member is formed of a cross-linked product of an elastomer composition which comprises an elastomer and fibrous carbon nanostructures, wherein a hydrogen diffusion coefficient D1 of a cross-linked product of an elastomer component including the elastomer and a hydrogen diffusion coefficient D2 of the cross-linked product of the elastomer composition satisfy the relationship 0.7<D2/D1<1.0.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device which is formed of a cross-linked product of an elastomer composition, wherein the elastomer composition comprises an elastomer and fibrous carbon nanostructures, a hydrogen diffusion coefficient D1 of a cross-linked product of an elastomer component including the elastomer and a hydrogen diffusion coefficient D2 of the cross-linked product of the elastomer composition satisfy the relationship 0.7<D2/D1<1.0, and the fibrous carbon nanostructures comprise single-walled carbon nanotubes. 2. The gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer is nitrile rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, or fluororubber. 3. The gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device according to claim 1 , wherein the fibrous carbon nanostructures have an average diameter of 1 nm or more and 60 nm or less. 4. The gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer composition comprises 3 parts by mass or more and 15 parts by mass or less of the fibrous carbon nanostructures comprising single-walled carbon nanotubes, per 100 parts by mass of the elastomer. 5. The gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device according to claim 1 , wherein the gas seal member is configured to be used in a state of being in contact with high-pressure hydrogen of 35 MPa or more and 105 MPa or less. 6. The gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer composition comprises silica, and the amount of silica in the elastomer composition is 50 parts by mass or less. 7. A high-pressure hydrogen device comprising: a container filled with high-pressure hydrogen of 35 MPa or more and 105 MPa or less; and the gas seal member for high-pressure hydrogen device according to claim 5 which is in contact with the high-pressure hydrogen in the container.
