It is an object of the present invention to provide an acrylic copolymer for providing a highly heat-resistant rubber material that shows a small rate of change in strength without loss of elongation, even under a high-temperature condition over a long period, and a composition containing the acrylic copolymer. The present invention provides an acrylic copolymer comprising a structural unit (A) derived from a monomer containing a structure having a maleimide skeleton, a structural unit (B) derived from an acrylic acid alkyl ester and/or a structural unit (B) derived from an acrylic acid alkoxyalkyl ester, and a structural unit (C) derived from an unsaturated monomer having a crosslinking group; a composition comprising the acrylic copolymer and a crosslinking group; and a rubber material produced from the composition.

Acrylic copolymer and rubber material

There is provided a method for more easily producing an acrylic rubber capable of providing a crosslinked rubber having excellent water resistance. A method for producing an acrylic rubber comprising the steps of subjecting a monomer to emulsion polymerization to obtain a polymerized emulsion; mixing the polymerized emulsion with a coagulant to obtain a water-containing crumb; and water-washing the water-containing crumb, wherein, in the step of water-washing the water-containing crumb, the water-containing crumb is water-washed until an electrical conductivity of the washing water after water-washing the water-containing crumb becomes 6.0 mS/cm or less.
