Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A seal member including a resin portion that contains a resin and a polymerization inhibitor, in which when an SP value [(J/cm 3 ) 0.5 ] of the resin is defined as SPb and an SP value [(J/cm 3 ) 0.5 ] of the polymerization inhibitor is defined as SPp, a relationship of Expression (1) is satisfied, SPp - SPb ≤ 16.37 Expression ⁢ ( 1 ) when an area of the polymerization inhibitor in a cross section is set to 100% by area in observation of the cross section of the resin portion of the seal member, an area of the domain of the polymerization inhibitor with a short diameter of 5 μm or greater is 25% by area or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A seal member comprising: a resin portion that contains a resin and a polymerization inhibitor, wherein when an SP value [(J/cm 3 ) 0.5 ] of the resin is defined as SPb and an SP value [(J/cm 3 ) 0.5 ] of the polymerization inhibitor is defined as SPp, a relationship of Expression (1) is satisfied, SPp - SPb ≤ 16.37 Expression ⁢ ( 1 ) wherein a cross section of the resin portion of the seal member contains a domain of the polymerization inhibitor, and when an area of the polymerization inhibitor in the cross section is set to 100% by area, a proportion of the domain of the polymerization inhibitor with a short diameter of 5 μm or greater is 25% by area or less. 2 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polymerization inhibitor in the seal member is 0.1% by mass or greater and 10.0% by mass or less. 3 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein when the area of the polymerization inhibitor in the cross section is set to 100% by area, the proportion of the domain of the polymerization inhibitor with a short diameter of 5 μm or greater is 15% by area or less. 4 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein the resin portion has a Young's modulus of 0.1 GPa or greater and 30.0 GPa or less. 5 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is polytetrafluoroethylene. 6 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein the seal member has a structure in which the polymerization inhibitor contains two phenolic hydroxyl groups. 7 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein the polymerization inhibitor has a melting point of 120° C. or higher. 8 . The seal member according to claim 1 , wherein the seal member is a gasket. 9 . A method of producing the seal member, the method comprising: a step of molding the resin to obtain an intermediate molded product; and a step of impregnating the intermediate molded product with a solution obtained by dissolving the polymerization inhibitor in an organic solvent, the seal member comprising: a resin portion that contains a resin and a polymerization inhibitor, wherein when an SP value [(J/cm 3 ) 0.5 ] of the resin is defined as SPb and an SP value [(J/cm 3 ) 0.5 ] of the polymerization inhibitor is defined as SPp, a relationship of Expression (1) is satisfied, SPp - SPb ≤ 16.37 Expression ⁢ ( 1 ) wherein a cross section of the resin portion of the seal member contains a domain of the polymerization inhibitor, and when an area of the polymerization inhibitor in the cross section is set to 100% by area, a proportion of the domain of the polymerization inhibitor with a short diameter of 5 μm or greater is 25% by area or less.
