摘要:
Disclosed is an electrolyte membrane-electrode assembly for direct methanol fuel cells, wherein a solid polymer electrolyte membrane is held between a pair of electrodes each composed of a catalyst layer coated over and/or impregnated in a porous supporting body. This electrolyte membrane-electrode assembly for direct methanol fuel cells is characterized in that the solid polymer electrolyte membrane is obtained by irradiating a resin membrane with radiation and graft-polymerizing a radically polymerizable monomer. The electrolyte membrane-electrode assembly for direct methanol fuel cells is further characterized in that the catalyst layer of the anode electrode comprises a catalyst, wherein platinum group metal or platinum-containing alloy particles having a particle size of 5 nm or less are supported by carbon particles, and a solid polymer electrolyte, and the noble metal amount in the catalyst layer of the anode electrode is not more than 5 mg/cm2. By using such a catalyst, there can be obtained a direct methanol fuel cell wherein high output is achieved by using high methanol concentration.

A high-performance solid polyelectrolyte film is provided which is produced by the radiation-induced graft polymerization method without causing solution gelation and which is excellent in mechanical strength, chemical stability, and dimensional stability and reduced in methanol permeability. According to the present invention, the solid polyelectrolyte film is produced by graft-polymerizing either a polymerizable monomer having an alkoxysilyl group alone or the polymerizable monomer having an alkoxysilyl group and another polymerizable monomer with a resin film which has been irradiated with a radiation, followed by hydrolyzing the alkoxysilyl groups to conduct dehydrating condensation. In addition, this solid polyelectrolyte film is disposed between a fuel electrode and an air electrode to fabricate a fuel cell.

An optical fiber is prepared by applying a liquid electron beam-curable resin composition to a bare optical fiber or a coated optical fiber having a primary or secondary coating on a bare optical fiber, irradiating electron beams to the resin composition on the optical fiber for curing while the optical fiber passes a zone under substantially atmospheric pressure, and providing a magnetic field and optionally an electric field in the zone for thereby improving the efficiency of electron irradiation. The method can comply with the increased drawing speed of the bare optical fiber and does not detract from the transmission properties of the optical fiber.

An electron beam system for treating filamentary workpieces includes an electron beam irradiation chamber having openings through which passes a filamentary workpiece, an electron beam generator including means for generating, accelerating and focusing electrons, and a communicating section which connects the electron beam generator with the electron beam irradiation chamber. The system also has a differential evacuating means for holding the pressure within the electron beam generator below that within the electron beam irradiation chamber. Electrons are generated, accelerated, and focused by the electron beam generator into a beam which passes from the generator through the communicating section to the electron beam irradiation chamber where the beam is directed at a filamentary workpiece. The system is able to uniformly, efficiently, and continuously apply electron beam irradiation to a traveling filamentary workpiece. When used in the fabrication of optical fiber, this system can accommodate higher fiber drawing speeds without compromising the transmission characteristics of the resulting optical fiber.

A novel ceramic electrostatic chuck with built-in heater is proposed which is outstandingly durable in use with repeated cycles of heating and cooling because of the absence of troubles due to exfoliation of layers and crack formation in the ceramic body. Differently from conventional ceramic electrostatic chuck with built-in heater consisting of a base plate of sintered body of boron nitride, layers of pyrolytic graphite formed on the surfaces of the base plate to serve, one, as the electrode layer and, the other, as the heater element, and an insulating layer of pyrolytic boron nitride formed on the pyrolytic graphite layers, the base plate in the invention is made of a composite sintered body of a powder mixture of aluminum and boron nitrides in a specified mixing proportion so as to minimize the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient from those of the overlaying layers.
