[0004]
 On the other hand, olefin-based polymers such as ethylene / α-olefin / non-conjugated polyene copolymer are inferior in permeability to volatile substances such as gasoline. Therefore, for example, ethylene / propylene / diene copolymer (EPDM) and ethylene -A laminated resin tubular body for hose inner tubes having a composition layer with a vinyl acetate copolymer saponified product (also referred to as an ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer) (Patent Document 2), or an ethylene / vinyl alcohol layer on a thermoplastic elastomer layer. A laminated fuel-based hose (Patent Document 3) or the like in which a copolymer layer is laminated has been proposed.
[0005]
 However, in the laminate described in Patent Document 2, an ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer having an inferior gas barrier property is mixed with an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponified product having an excellent gas barrier property. There is a risk that the gas barrier property of the vinyl copolymer saponified product will be impaired.
[0006]
 On the other hand, the laminated fuel system hose in which the thermoplastic elastomer layer and the ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer layer are laminated has a gas barrier property, but since the thermoplastic elastomer layer is a non-polar polymer, the ethylene / vinyl alcohol co-weight Poor adhesion to the coalesced layer.

Next, each sheet (layer 1) and film (layer 2) were superposed. When stacking, the sheet and film are sandwiched between a part of the copolymer composition sheet (width 3 cm, length 15 cm: gripping margin during peeling test) and a lumirror film (t = 0.2 mm). Then, the laminated sheet and film in which the Lumirror film was sandwiched in a part thereof were pressed (main press) at 180 ° C. for 10 minutes using a 100-ton press molding machine to obtain a copolymer. The composition sheet was crosslinked to obtain a laminate having a thickness of 2 mm.
[0146]
 The Lumirror film was removed from the obtained laminate, the interface between the copolymer composition sheet and the EVOH film was peeled off by hand, and the peelability (adhesiveness) was set to 1 without adhesion and firmly adhered. The state in which it could not be peeled off by hand was set to 5, and the evaluation was performed on a scale of 1 to 5.
[0147]
 The evaluation results are shown in Table 4.
[0148]
 [Example 6] A
 laminate was obtained in the same manner as in Example 5 except that hydrophilic fumed silica (Aerosil 200, manufactured by EVONIK Co., Ltd.) was used instead of Aerosil RX200 used in Example 5. The evaluation results are shown in Table 4.
[0149]
 [Comparative Example 7] A
 laminate was obtained in the same manner as in Example 5 except that Aerosil RX200 and EVA150 were not blended in place of the copolymer composition used in Example 5. The evaluation results are shown in Table 4.
[0150]
 [Comparative Example 8] A
 laminate was obtained in the same manner as in Example 6 except that EVA150 was not blended in place of the copolymer composition used in Example 6. The evaluation results are shown in Table 4.
