摘要:
An aromatic polymer film substrate, or a grafted aromatic polymer film substrate having a monomer introduced therein as graft chains is irradiated with ionizing radiation to impart a crosslinked structure. The aromatic polymer film substrate or the grafted aromatic polymer film substrate, provided with the crosslinked structure, is directly sulfonated to obtain a crosslinked aromatic polymer electrolyte membrane. The crosslinked aromatic polymer electrolyte membrane has low water uptake, high proton conductivity, low methanol permeability, high chemical stability, and excellent mechanical characteristics. A method for producing the crosslinked aromatic polymer electrolyte membrane is also provided.

An ionic organic compound having a repeating unit of formula (I) can be synthesized easily from a readily available organic compound through a small number of reaction steps, can be produced without any purification technique such as chromatography, and can be used in a quite small amount for gelation of water or an ionic liquid without any other auxiliary solvent: [-(A-B-C)n-]•m(X) (I) wherein A represents a group having a quaternary ammonium cation which is formed from a heterocyclic compound having at least one nitrogen atom; B represents a functional group, which may have a substituent, selected from amide, urea, urethane and peptide groups; C represents a divalent hydrocarbon group, which may have a substituent, capable of linking between A and B; X represents an anion; n represents the number of repeating units; m represents the total number of anions; and n and m are the same integer. A hydrogel using the compound is stable under acidic conditions, capable of setting a large amount of water with a small amount thereof, and capable of quickly recovering the original elastic modulus against structural disruption caused by mechanical distortion. The hydrogel is capable of directly gelling an ionic liquid without other solvent such as water when causing gelation. Further, the hydrogel is capable of easily dispersing carbon nanotubes in water whose load on the environment is low.

A clamp tool for woodwork or metalwork in which a screw mechanism is not apart away from a shaft and is not exposed is disclosed. In the clamp tool, a pair of clamping brackets is disposed on a shaft apart from each other and at least one clamping bracket is movable along the shaft to fasten a workpiece in cooperation with the other clamping bracket. Here, a female screw constituting a screw mechanism is disposed at one end of the shaft, a male screw constituting the screw mechanism is rotatable in a slide cylinder disposed outside at the end of the shaft so as to be screwed to the female screw, a handle for rotationally manipulating the male screw is disposed, and a guide portion is disposed between the shaft and the slide cylinder so that the female screw does not rotate but goes straight with the rotation of the male screw so as to allow the clamping bracket disposed outside the slide cylinder to move along the shaft.
摘要:
Polymer ion-exchange membranes having outstanding electrical conductivity, water retention and oxidation resistance are produced by the steps of uniformly mixing an organic high-molecular weight resin with functional inorganics having the abilities to promote graft polymerization of polymerizable monomers, adsorb water and conduct protons, irradiating the resulting functional inorganics/polymer membrane to initiate graft polymerization or graft copolymerization of polymerizable monomers having functional groups, and then introducing sulfonic acid groups into the graft chains.

The improved electrolyte membrane which is produced by grafting a styrenic monomer and bis(vinylphenyl)ethane as monomers to a polymer substrate and then introducing sulfonic acid groups into the graft side chains formed has improved oxidation resistance and good adhesion to electrodes. The polymer substrate is preferably made of a fluorocarbon polymer or an olefinic polymer. The styrenic monomer is preferably one or more species selected from the group consisting of styrene, α-methylstyrene, vinyltoluene, and trifluorostyrene.
摘要:
In an electrolytic cell a membrane consisting of dielectric material such as an organic polymer, which separates two chambers of the electrolytic cell from each other is produced using an etching solution which is provided in one of the chambers, contains active etching ions, while the other chamber contains a solution, which does not have an etching action. An electrical field is generated through the membrane. The etching progresses along ion tracks in the membrane and first produces one funnel-shaped pore per ion track. Immediately prior to the breakthrough, the ions, which do not have an etching action, begin to penetrate the still existent thin layer with fine pores—the active layer—and displace the ions with an etching action. An intensified electric current, driven by the adjacent field, is established and the etching process at the bottom of the pore shifts sideways according to the concentration of etching ions still present. The process is stopped by deactivating the field and flushing the membrane.

摘要:
A gas floating-transporting apparatus transports a material to be treated along a predetermined direction in a thermal space so as to thermally treat the material to be treated. The apparatus includes a gas floating mechanism and a transporting mechanism. The gas floating mechanism includes a gas ejection device which expels the gas toward a portion of the material to be treated on which a floating force is acted so as to float the material to be treated, and a gas supply device which supplies the gas to the gas ejection means. The transporting mechanism includes an abutting member which abuts a trailing end of the floated material to be treated and moves along the predetermined direction, and which pushes the material to be treated by the movement thereof, whereby the floated material to be treated is moved along the predetermined direction.

In a welding electrode protecting machine, welding electrodes are protected against a surface treating agent on strips to be welded by applying a proper amount of electrode protecting agent onto surfaces of welding electrodes prior to or during welding operation. A seam welding machine includes a carriage (6) adapted to move in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which strips (1a, 2a) to be welded are fed, a pair of rotatable disk-like welding electrodes (8a, 8b) disposed on the carriage (6) for welding together the strips (1a, 2a) by pressing the strips (1a, 2a) to each other at surface portions thereof along which the strips are to be welded together as the carriage (6) is moved, electrode protecting agent application roll-like members (21a, 21b) for applying an electrode protecting agent (29) onto rotating surfaces of the welding electrodes (8a, 8b) while being in physical contact with the welding electrodes (8a, 8b) under pressure, the electrode protecting agent (29) which is charged from tanks (30a, 30b) by pumps (31a, 31b), and removing roll-like members (25a, 25b) disposed on the carriage for removing the electrode protecting agent (29) remaining on surface portions along which the strips (1a, 2a) to be welded were welded together at a work side relative to the welding electrodes (8a, 8b).
