Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rubber composition includes an elastomer component, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based resin, and a non-water-absorbent short fiber, and includes substantially no water-absorbent fiber. The elastomer component may include an ethylene-α-olefin elastomer. The polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based resin may have a K value of 10 to 100. The non-water-absorbent short fiber may include an aliphatic polyamide short fiber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rubber composition comprising an elastomer component, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based resin, and a non-water-absorbent short fiber, wherein the rubber composition comprises substantially no water-absorbent fiber, wherein the non-water-absorbent short fiber has an average fiber length of 0.3 mm to 30 mm, wherein a proportion of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based resin is 1 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the elastomer component, and wherein a proportion of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based resin is 3 to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the non-water-absorbent short fiber. 2. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer component comprises an ethylene-α-olefin elastomer. 3. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based resin has a K value of 10 to 100. 4. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the non-water-absorbent short fiber comprises an aliphatic polyamide short fiber. 5. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of the non-water-absorbent short fiber is 15 to 50 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the elastomer component. 6. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , comprising no cellulose-based fiber. 7. A frictional power transmission belt comprising a frictional power transmission surface formed of a cured product of the rubber composition according to claim 1 .
