In addition, the thickness of catalyst layer 5A, 5B is minimum, is 3~20 μ m, and deviation is also little, and in contrast, the thickness of gas diffusion layers 6A, 6B is bigger, is that deviation is also bigger about 200~600 μ m.Therefore, can only predict the thickness of gas diffusion layers 6A, 6B and be pasted on to form preparation conjugant 21 on the solid polyelectrolyte membrane 2, add that the thickness of catalyst layer is (about 3~20 μ m, perhaps minimum, be considered as 0), thus the thickness of catalyst layer and gas diffusion layers measured.But, in this case, can not in shaping dies, measure, aspect operation, be inferior to present embodiment.
Afterwards, as shown in figure 12, by cast gate 36A, 36B, from supply pipe 37A, 37B to the 1st injection space 42A and the 2nd injection space 42B resin material injection.
When resin material is thermoplastic resin, spray the resin material of molten state, after temperature reduction, resin material solidify, make the 1st shaping dies 25A and the 2nd shaping dies 25B demoulding, take out the membrane-electrode assembly 1 that is formed with the 1st cushion part 8A and the 2nd cushion part 8B.
When resin material is thermosetting resin, spray aqueous resin material, resin material is heated to more than or equal to curing temperature makes its curing by being arranged on heater (not shown) on the 1st shaping dies 25A and the 2nd shaping dies 25B, make the 1st shaping dies 25A and the 2nd shaping dies 25B demoulding then, take out the membrane-electrode assembly 1 that forms by the 1st cushion part 8A and the 2nd cushion part 8B.
For the membrane-electrode assembly of making as mentioned above 1, because resin material is injected from inclined plane 10A, 10B, therefore, the excision residue that can prevent cast gate 36A, 36B is outstanding and outstanding to peripheral direction from the surface that contacts with dividing plate 9, when constituting fuel cell, can keep close property well with dividing plate 9.
