Disclosed is a process for producing a diaphragm for a fuel cell comprising a modified anion exchange membrane that substantially maintains durability and hydroxide ion conductivity as an electrolyte membrane and has improved resistance to methanol permeation. The process is characterized by comprising the step of impregnating at least one side of a crosslinked hydrocarbon anion exchange membrane with a polymerizable acidic compound having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 700 and less than 8000, provided that, when the acid site in the compound has been neutralized with a counter cation, the weight of the counter cation is subtracted from the molecular weight, and polymerizing the polymerizable acidic compound.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrolyte membrane-electrode membrane assembly for a solid polymer type fuel cell having superior characteristics, wherein a gas diffusion electrode membrane and a solid electrolyte membrane are well bonded, and electrode catalysts are uniformly-dispersed to obtain high electrode activity, a production method thereof and a fuel cell equipped therewith.The electrolyte membrane-electrode membrane assembly of the present invention is produced by jointing a molded membrane for forming a gas diffusion electrode membrane formed by a paste composition including a polymeric organic compound having a quaternary base forming functional group and an electrode catalyst, with a quaternary base type anion-exchange resin precursor membrane for forming a solid electrolyte membrane having a quaternary base forming functional group; forming of a quaternary base type anion-exchange group by bonding a polyfunctional quaternarizing agent to the quaternary base forming functional group included in each of said molded membrane and said precursor membrane via each functional group of the polyfunctional quaternarizing agent which is present around the bonded interface of both membranes to thereby crosslink the formed anion-exchange resins in both membranes via the polyfunctional quaternarizing agent simultaneously; and subjecting non-quaternarized residue of the quaternary base forming functional groups in thus-obtained assembly to a quaternary base forming treatment.A fuel cell comprising thus-produced electrolyte membrane-electrode membrane assembly is excellent in bonding property, durability and output voltage.
摘要:
A method of producing an ion-exchange membrane for iontophoresis by preparing a polymerizable composition containing monomer components and non-polymerizable components which are compatible with the monomer components but do not copolymerize therewith; forming the polymerizable composition into a membrane form; polymerizing the polymerizable composition in the obtained membrane form to thereby form a membrane of a structure in which the non-polymerizable components are dispersed in the polymer having a crosslinked structure; removing the non-polymerizable components from the obtained membrane; and, as required, introducing ion-exchange groups into the polymer. The ion-exchange membrane obtained by the above method is applied to an iontophoresis device. When an ionic medicine contained in a medicine-containing portion of the device is permeated into a living body by the electrophoresis through the ion-exchange membrane, not only ionic medicines having small formula weights but also medicinal ions of formula weights of about 500 to about 1,000 can be efficiently administered into the living body.

摘要:
An apparatus for plasma treatment, capable of plasma-treating works of resin material by irradiating the surfaces of the works with a microwave discharge plasma within a vacuum reaction chamber. A plasma introducing port is formed in the wall of the reaction chamber. A plasma-irradiating pipe is connected to the plasma introducing port for injecting the plasma into the reaction chamber to irradiate the surfaces of the works. A discharge port is formed in the wall of the reaction chamber to reduce the internal pressure of the reaction chamber. A plasma diffuser includes a rotatable vane for diffusing the flow of plasma to distribute uniform density of plasma in the reaction chamber. A plurality of deflecting plates projecting from the inner wall of the reaction chamber toward the interior thereof may also be provided to diffuse the flow of plasma in the reaction chamber. In a method, a plurality of the works are rotated in relation to each other about a common axis, and also individual works are rotated independently from each other about their own axes.
