Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multilayer structure having seven or more layers, an inner liner for a pneumatic tire using the multilayer structure, and a pneumatic tire including the inner liner.
- laminated films having an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer layer have been used for food and medical packaging materials because of their high gas barrier properties and thermoformability.
- various multilayer structures in which a plurality of resin layers each having a thickness of micron order or submicron order have been proposed.
- Examples of conventional multilayer structures in which a plurality of resin layers of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer are laminated include, for example, (1) a barrier material such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and an elastomer material such as thermoplastic polyurethane.
- An elastomeric barrier film (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) on which a layer polymer composite is laminated, or (2) alternating between a hard polymer material such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and a plastic polymer material.
- a multilayer film having a layer has been developed.
- the conventional multilayer structure (1) does not particularly take into account the adhesion between the barrier material such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and the elastomer material such as thermoplastic polyurethane.
- the conventional multilayer structure (2) is not devised in terms of interlayer adhesion, such as a hard polymer material itself such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, or a combination of this with a plastic polymer material. Only a technique that uses a tie layer made of a melt adhesive to enhance the adhesion between the layers is disclosed. Therefore, according to these conventional multilayer structures (1) and (2), the adhesion between the layers is insufficient, and the barrier layer is likely to crack due to the delamination between layers, resulting in a decrease in durability. There is a risk. As a result, the conventional multilayer structures (1) and (2) have the disadvantage that the gas barrier properties are insufficient and difficult to use in applications that require high gas barrier properties.
- an inner liner layer mainly composed of a low-gas-permeable butyl rubber such as butyl rubber or halogenated butyl rubber is conventionally provided on the inner surface of the pneumatic tire in order to prevent air leakage and keep the tire air pressure constant. ing.

- the inner liner is made thinner, there is an inconvenience that the inner surface cord is easily exposed during tire manufacture.
- the content of the butyl rubber is naturally limited.
- the inner liner layer needs to have a thickness of about 1 mm from the viewpoint of air barrier properties. For this reason, the mass of the inner liner layer in the tire is about 5%, which is a barrier for improving automobile fuel consumption by reducing the tire mass.
- the method using these films even though the weight of the tire can be reduced to some extent, because the matrix is a crystalline resin material, it is particularly resistant to cracking and bending when used at a low temperature of 5 ° C. or lower. There is an inconvenience that the fatigue property is inferior to that of a normally used butyl rubber compounded composition layer, and in addition, the tire production is a complicated process.
- the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer has excellent gas barrier properties as described above. Since the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer has an air permeation amount of 1/100 or less of the inner liner rubber composition containing butyl rubber, the internal pressure retention can be greatly improved even at a thickness of 50 ⁇ m or less. In addition, the weight of the tire can be reduced. Therefore, in order to reduce the air permeability of the pneumatic tire, it is effective to use the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer for the tire inner liner, and the pneumatic tire having the tire inner liner made of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is effective. Has been developed (see, for example, Patent Document 7).

本発明の多層構造体においては、A層及び/又はB層を構成する樹脂組成物が、ラジカル架橋剤を含有していることが好ましい。ラジカル架橋剤を含有する樹脂組成物からなるA層及び/又はB層を有する多層構造体に活性エネルギー線を照射することで、この活性エネルギー線照射時における架橋効果が促進され、A層とB層との層間接着性がさらに向上し、ガスバリア性がさらに高まる。また、活性エネルギー線の照射量を、ラジカル架橋剤が存在しない場合に比べて少なくすることが可能となる。
本発明の多層構造体における、A層とB層との剥離抗力としては、180℃で15分間加熱後に、JIS-K6854に準拠し、23℃、50%RH雰囲気下、引張り速度50mm/分での測定において、好ましくは25N/25mm以上、より好ましくは27N/25mm以上、さらに好ましくは30N/25mm以上、特に好ましくは50N/25mm以上である。このように、A層とB層とは、非常に優れた層間接着性を有している。
本発明の多層構造体の製造方法は、A層とB層とが良好に積層・接着される方法であれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えば共押出し、はり合わせ、コーティング、ボンディング、付着などの公知の方法を採用することができる。当該多層構造体の製造方法としては、具体的には(1)A層形成用の樹脂組成物とB層形成用の樹脂組成物とを用い、多層共押出法によりA層及びB層を有する多層構造体を製造する方法や、(2)A層形成用の樹脂組成物とB層形成用の樹脂組成物とを用い、接着剤を介して複数の積層体を重ね合わせ、延伸することでA層及びB層を有する多層構造体を製造する方法などが例示される。この中でも、生産性が高く、層間接着性に優れる観点から、(1)のA層形成用の樹脂組成物とB層形成用の樹脂組成物とを用いた多層共押出法により成形する方法が好ましい。
