Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a polymer electrolyte molded article, which comprises forming a polymer electrolyte precursor having a protective group and an ionic group, and deprotecting at least a portion of protective groups contained in the resulting molded article to obtain a polymer electrolyte molded article. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a polymer electrolyte material and a polymer electrolyte molded article, which are excellent in proton conductivity and are also excellent in fuel barrier properties, mechanical strength, physical durability, resistance to hot water, resistance to hot methanol, processability and chemical stability. A polymer electrolyte fuel cell using a polymer electrolyte membrane, polymer electrolyte parts or a membrane electrode assembly can achieve high output, high energy density and long-term durability.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a support film for solution film forming, said support film combining polymer solution's wettability during a solution film forming step, early separation resistance during a drying step and wetting step, and easy release properties when intentionally separating a polymer film. Provided is a support film for solution film forming, said support film being formed by introducing fluorine atoms to at least one surface of abase film that is formed from one or more types of polymers selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene napthalate, polyphenylene sulphide, polysulfones, polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone, polyimides, polyetherimide, polyamides, polyamide-imides, polybenzimidazoles, polycarbonates, polyarylates, and polyvinyl chloride. Therein, the ratio, measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, of the number of fluorine atoms/the number of carbon atoms in the surface to which the fluorine atoms are introduced, i.e. the modified surface, is 0.02-0.8, inclusive.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a substrate film that has a catalyst coating liquid having good coating properties when producing a membrane electrode assembly, has a catalyst layer and support film having good release properties after the catalyst layer is transferred to an electrolyte membrane using a catalyst transfer sheet, and does not contaminate the catalyst layer. Provided is a substrate film for a catalyst transfer sheet, said substrate film being formed by introducing fluorine atoms to at least one surface of a base film formed from one or more types of polymers selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene napthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfones, polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone, polyimides, polyetherimide, polyamides, polyamide-imides, polybenzimidazoles, polycarbonates, polyarylates, and polyvinyl chloride, wherein the ratio, measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, of the number of fluorine atoms/the number of carbon atoms in the surface to which the fluorine atoms are introduced, i.e. the modified surface, is 0.02-1.9, inclusive.
