Abstract

The present invention provides a paper feed roll adapted for office machines which exhibits a high friction coefficient suitable for the conveyance of copying paper, printing paper, original, etc. and less abrasion. A process for the preparation of such a paper feed roll is also provided. Further, a silicone rubber composition suitable for the foregoing paper feed roll having an excellent formability to roll is provided. In particular, a novel silicone rubber-coated paper feed roll is provided, which is prepared from a silica-containing silicone rubber composition. The silicone rubber obtained by curing the silica-containing silicone rubber composition and composes the paper feed roll has an impact resilience of not less than 80% after curing as determined by JIS K6301, a permanent compression set of not more than 4% under a condition of 25% compression at 70.degree. C. for 22 hours and a 100% modulus of from 0.3 to 1.0 MPa. A novel silica-containing silicone rubber composition for use in a paper feed roll is also provided, which contains a diorganosiloxane represented by the following general formula as a silica treatment: ##STR1##
