  • Publication number: 20190144616
    Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition according to the present invention contains carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers in amounts of 2.8 to 35 parts by mass and 1 to 60 parts by mass, respectively, relative to 100 parts by mass of a thermoplastic resin. In the thermoplastic resin composition, when the content of the carbon nanotubes is 2.8 to 5.3 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin, the content of the carbon fibers is at least 8.3 to 1 part by mass. In the thermoplastic resin composition, when the content of the carbon fibers is 1 to 8.3 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin, the content of the carbon nanotubes is at least 5.3 to 2.8 parts by mass.

  • Patent number: 10087293
    Abstract: A method for producing a rubber composition include a mixing step, a drying step, and a dispersion step. In the mixing step, an aqueous solution that includes at least one of oxycellulose fibers and cellulose nanofibers is mixed with rubber latex to obtain a first mixture. In the drying step, the first mixture is dried to obtain a second mixture. In the dispersion step, the second mixture is tight-milled using an open roll to obtain a rubber composition. The rubber composition does not include an aggregate that includes at least one of the oxycellulose fibers and the cellulose nanofibers, and has a diameter of 0.1 mm or more.

  • Publication number: 20160319087
    Abstract: An oilfield apparatus includes a seal member. The seal member is formed of a rubber composition that includes a rubber, and at least either oxycellulose fibers or cellulose nanofibers that are dispersed in the rubber in an untangled state, and does not include an aggregate that includes at least either the oxycellulose fibers or the cellulose nanofibers and has a diameter of 0.1 mm or more. The rubber composition includes at least either the oxycellulose fibers or the cellulose nanofibers in a ratio of 1 to 60 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber. The oxycellulose fibers have an average fiber diameter of 10 to 30 micrometers. The cellulose nanofibers have an average fiber diameter of 1 to 200 nm.
