CLEANING MEMBER AND ELASTIC MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111241 titled 'CLEANING MEMBER AND ELASTIC MEMBER

Simplified Explanation

The cleaning member described in the patent application is made of an elastic member that includes polyurethane. The key features of this cleaning member include:

• The peak temperature of tan δ is at 15.0°C or below in the temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.
• The maximum value of tan δ is between 0.20 to 0.55.
• Tan δ at a temperature of 55°C is 0.13 or larger.
• The detected quantity of all ions obtained during heating the test piece at a rate of temperature increase of 10°C/second to 1000°C using a mass spectrometer is m, and the integrated intensity of a peak in a derived ion thermogram corresponding to multifunctional isocyanate with at least three isocyanate groups is m, where m/m is at least 0.001.

Original Abstract Submitted

provided is a cleaning member, comprising an elastic member that includes polyurethane, wherein: when tan � of a test piece sampled from the elastic member is measured in the temperature range of −20� c. to +60� c., the peak temperature of a peak indicating the maximum value of tan � is at 15.0� c. or below; the maximum value of tan � is 0.20 to 0.55; tan � at a temperature of 55� c. is 0.13 or larger; and where the detected quantity of all ions obtained when the test piece is heated at a rate of temperature increase of 10� c./second to 1000� c. using a direct-sampling mass spectrometer is m and the integrated intensity of a peak in a derived ion thermogram that corresponds to a range of m/z values originating in multifunctional isocyanate with at least three isocyanate groups is m, m/m is at least 0.001.
