Abstract: The present invention provides a conductive rubber composition with a low hardness and low distortion, and exhibiting less variations in volume specific resistance value and less dependence on environment, a manufacturing method thereof, and further, a conductive rubber member using the same. The conductive rubber composition of the present invention contains a particulate polymer (A1, crosslinked particulate polymer, and the like), an uncrosslinked polymer (A2), and a conductivity imparting agent (B). The particulate polymer (A1) is a nonpolar polymer (SBR, and the like), the uncrosslinked (A2) is a polar polymer (NBR, and the like), and the more conductivity imparting agent (B) exists in the uncrosslinked polymer than in the crosslinked particulate polymer. This composition can be obtained by starting the kneading of the above-described respective compounds at such a temperature (T C.) that the Mooney viscosity of the uncrosslinked polymer is equal or less than the Mooney viscosity of particulate polymer.

Abstract: A rubber composition obtained by compounding (B) from 0.005 to 50 parts by weight of an polyorganohydrogensiloxane and (C) from 0.00001 to 1 part by weight of a compound of a transition metal belonging to the group VIII with (A) 100 parts by weight of a rubber-forming polymer mainly comprising (I) from 3 to 70% by weight of a polyorganosiloxane represented by the formula: ##EQU1## wherein R represents a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent organic group, 0.02 to 10 mole % of which being a vinyl group; and a represents a number of from 1.900 to 2.004,and having a degree of polymerization of from 500 to 10,000 and (II) from 30 to 97% by weight of organic rubber, and subjecting the resulting compound to hydrosilylation while effecting shear deformation. The rubber composition is excellent in roll processing properties, mechanical strength, heat resistance, and low-temperature property and is suitable as oil seal and rubber hose.

Abstract: A rubber composition that is prepared by reacting an organic peroxide, under shear deformation, with 3-70 parts by weight of silicone rubber (I), 30-97 parts by weight of a saturated elastomer (II) that substantially fails to be crosslinked with an organic peroxide when it is used alone, and 0-20 parts by weight of another elastomer (III) that is co-crosslinkable with component (I) in the presence of an organic peroxide and which is also co-crosslinkable or highly miscible with component (II) [where (I)+(II)+(III)=100 parts by weight].
