Abstract
A blade rubber having both of superior durability and wiping performance can be manufactured by using a non-diene-based rubber without environmental burden. A pair of blade-rubber molded bodies molded from the non-diene-based rubber is subjected to an irradiation treatment to generate radical active sites, and monomers are bound by graft polymerization as beginning at the radical active sites. Also, the monomers are adhered on a surface of the blade rubber either before or after the generation of the radical active sites. The irradiation treatment and the graft polymerization may be simultaneously performed or independently performed in this order. In this manner, a surface treatment for reducing friction of the non-diene-based rubber having superior durability can be performed without halogen, and therefore, a blade rubber having superior durability and wiping performance can be manufactured.
