特公平７−４０７５号公報 A micro actuator element having electrodes (anode and cathode) on both surfaces of an ion exchange membrane is known (see Patent Document 1). In this micro actuator element, an ion exchange membrane is flexibly bent and deformed by applying a voltage via an electrode. However, this voltage-driven small actuator element is technically very difficult to connect with a lead wire to an electrode when applied to a micromachine, and this is one factor that hinders its spread. In addition, voltage-driven actuators often cannot obtain a large force only by applying a voltage (a large amount of displacement cannot be obtained), and an increase in driving force is required.

以下、本発明の一実施形態の概略を示す断面図を参照しつつ、本発明をより詳細に説明する。
I．磁場応答固体高分子複合体
図１は、本発明による磁場応答固体高分子複合体の製造方法の概要を示す模式図である。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to cross-sectional views illustrating an outline of an embodiment of the present invention.
I. Field response solid polymer composite Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a manufacturing method of a magnetic field responsive polymer complex according to the invention.

本発明で基材として使用する固体高分子イオン交換膜(図１においては、高分子ゲルし
て表示してある；以下単に「基材」ということがある)としては、陽イオン交換樹脂膜、
陰イオン交換樹脂膜および両性イオン交換樹脂膜が挙げられる。 As the solid polymer ion exchange membrane used as a substrate in the present invention (in FIG. 1, it is displayed as a polymer gel; hereinafter, it may be simply referred to as “substrate”), a cation exchange resin membrane,
Examples include anion exchange resin membranes and amphoteric ion exchange resin membranes.

基材を構成する陽イオン交換樹脂としては、フッ素樹脂、ポリエチレン、ポリスチレンなどにスルホン酸基、カルボキシル基などの官能基を導入した樹脂が挙げられる。これらの樹脂からなる陽イオン交換樹脂の中では、フッ素樹脂にスルホン酸基、カルボキシル基などの官能基が導入された陽イオン交換樹脂膜が、樹脂自体が柔軟であって、アクチュエータとしての変位量を大きくすることができるので、より好ましい。この様なフッ素樹脂系の陽イオン交換樹脂膜は、例えば、“ナフィオン”(デュポン社)などの商標名により市販されている。   Examples of the cation exchange resin constituting the substrate include a resin in which a functional group such as a sulfonic acid group or a carboxyl group is introduced into a fluororesin, polyethylene, polystyrene, or the like. Among these cation exchange resins, cation exchange resin membranes in which functional groups such as sulfonic acid groups and carboxyl groups are introduced into fluororesins are flexible and the amount of displacement as an actuator Can be increased, which is more preferable. Such a fluororesin-based cation exchange resin membrane is commercially available under a trade name such as “Nafion” (DuPont).

磁場応答固体高分子複合体の製造は、上述の基材を所定の強磁性体金属イオンを含む水溶液に浸漬し、金属イオンを吸着させた後、金属イオンを吸着した基材を還元剤水溶液に浸漬することにより、行う。   The production of the magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite is performed by immersing the above-mentioned base material in an aqueous solution containing a predetermined ferromagnetic metal ion, adsorbing the metal ion, and then making the base material adsorbing the metal ion into the reducing agent aqueous solution. Perform by dipping.

基材を浸漬する水溶液としては、コバルトイオン、ニッケルイオン或いはこれら両イオンを含む水溶液を使用する。この様な水溶液としては、硫酸塩(CoSO4、NiSO4など)の水溶
液、塩化物塩(CoCl2、NiCl2など)の水溶液が挙げられる。 As the aqueous solution in which the substrate is immersed, an aqueous solution containing cobalt ions, nickel ions, or both ions is used. Examples of such an aqueous solution include an aqueous solution of sulfate (CoSO 4 , NiSO 4 etc.) and an aqueous solution of chloride salt (CoCl 2 , NiCl 2 etc.).

次いで、金属イオンの還元は、金属イオンを吸着した基材を公知のメッキ加工において使用されている還元剤水溶液に浸漬することにより、行う。この様な還元剤としては、特に限定されるものではないが、水素化ホウ素ナトリウム、水素化ホウ素カリウム、ヒドラジン、亜硫酸ナトリウム、ジメチルアミノボラン、アスコルビン酸ナトリウムなどが例示される。この還元操作により、基材表面に強磁性材料層が形成される。   Next, the reduction of the metal ions is performed by immersing the substrate adsorbing the metal ions in a reducing agent aqueous solution used in a known plating process. Examples of such a reducing agent include, but are not limited to, sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, hydrazine, sodium sulfite, dimethylaminoborane, sodium ascorbate and the like. By this reduction operation, a ferromagnetic material layer is formed on the substrate surface.

次いで、還元処理された基材を、必要ならば水洗して、所望の磁場応答固体高分子複合体を得る。   Next, the reduction-treated substrate is washed with water if necessary to obtain a desired magnetic field-responsive solid polymer composite.

本発明においては、固体高分子イオン交換膜からなる基材に対する「金属イオンの吸着操作→還元操作→水洗操作」という一連の工程を複数回繰り返して行うことにより、強磁性体層の厚さを大きくすることができる。この工程の繰り返し回数は、所望の強磁性体層の厚さに応じて適宜選択することが出来る。   In the present invention, the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer is reduced by repeating a series of steps of “metal ion adsorption operation → reduction operation → water washing operation” a plurality of times on a substrate made of a solid polymer ion exchange membrane. Can be bigger. The number of repetitions of this step can be appropriately selected according to the desired thickness of the ferromagnetic layer.

さらに必要ならば、表面に強磁性材料層が形成された基材を無電解メッキ液に浸漬することにより、強磁性体材料層の厚さを増大させることが出来る。無電解メッキ液としては、特に限定されることなく、金属、樹脂などに対する公知のメッキ加工において使用されている無電解メッキ液を使用することができる。この様な無電解メッキ液としては、例えば、硫酸コバルト系メッキ液、硫酸コバルト-次亜リン酸ナトリウム-酒石酸塩-硼酸系メ
ッキ液、硫酸ニッケル-次亜リン酸ナトリウム-乳酸-プロピオン酸系メッキ液、硫酸ニッ
ケル-次亜リン酸ナトリウム-酢酸ナトリウム系メッキ液、硫酸ニッケル-次亜リン酸ナト
リウム-コハク酸ナトリウム-リンゴ酸系メッキ液などが例示される。 Further, if necessary, the thickness of the ferromagnetic material layer can be increased by immersing the base material having the ferromagnetic material layer formed on the surface thereof in an electroless plating solution. The electroless plating solution is not particularly limited, and an electroless plating solution used in a known plating process for metals, resins, and the like can be used. Examples of such electroless plating solutions include cobalt sulfate plating solution, cobalt sulfate-sodium hypophosphite-tartrate-boric acid plating solution, nickel sulfate-sodium hypophosphite-lactic acid-propionic acid plating. Examples thereof include a nickel sulfate-sodium hypophosphite-sodium acetate plating solution and a nickel sulfate-sodium hypophosphite-sodium succinate-malic acid plating solution.

なお、図１に示す磁場応答固体高分子複合体は、その両面に強磁性材料層が形成された実施態様(両面型)を示しているが、本発明は、その一面にのみ強磁性材料層を形成する実施態様(片面型)をも包含する。片面型の磁場応答固体高分子複合体は、良好な柔軟性を示すが、磁場感応性は、両面型の磁場応答固体高分子複合体に劣る。従って、所望の用途に応じて、両面型或いは片面型を選択すればよい。   The magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite shown in FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a ferromagnetic material layer is formed on both sides (double-sided type), but the present invention is only on one side of the ferromagnetic material layer. The embodiment (single-sided type) is also included. The single-sided magnetic field-responsive solid polymer composite exhibits good flexibility, but the magnetic field sensitivity is inferior to the double-sided magnetic-field-responsive solid polymer composite. Therefore, a double-sided type or a single-sided type may be selected according to a desired application.

片面型磁場応答固体高分子複合体は、例えば、強磁性体金属イオンを両面に担持した基材の片面のみに還元剤を接触させて、強磁性材料層を形成するとともに、他の片面を純水により洗浄して、金属イオンを洗い流すことにより、製造することが出来る。或いは、基材の一面を被覆した状態で、他の片面にのみ強磁性体金属イオンを吸着担持させた後、金属イオンを還元することによっても、片面型磁場応答固体高分子複合体を製造することが出来る。   A single-sided magnetic field-responsive solid polymer composite is formed, for example, by bringing a reducing agent into contact with only one side of a substrate carrying ferromagnetic metal ions on both sides to form a ferromagnetic material layer and making the other side pure. It can be manufactured by washing with water and washing away metal ions. Alternatively, a single-sided magnetic field-responsive solid polymer composite is produced by reducing the metal ions after adsorbing and supporting the ferromagnetic metal ions only on the other side with one side of the substrate covered. I can do it.

本発明による磁場応答固体高分子複合体において、基材と強磁性材料層の厚さは、目的乃至用途に応じて適宜選択することができる。一般に、基材の厚さは０．０５〜０．５mm程度(より好ましくは、０．１５〜０．３ｍｍ程度)であり、強磁性材料層の厚さ１〜１０μｍ程度(より好ましくは、３〜５μm程度)である。   In the magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite according to the present invention, the thickness of the base material and the ferromagnetic material layer can be appropriately selected according to the purpose or application. In general, the thickness of the substrate is about 0.05 to 0.5 mm (more preferably about 0.15 to 0.3 mm), and the thickness of the ferromagnetic material layer is about 1 to 10 μm (more preferably 3 mm). ˜5 μm).

本発明による磁場応答固体高分子複合体は、磁場内に置かれた場合に、磁場に鋭敏に応答して大きく湾曲或いは変形する。
II．電場・磁場応答固体高分子複合体
本発明による電場・磁場応答固体高分子複合体は、基材上に貴金属層と強磁性材料層を備えている。 The magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite according to the present invention is greatly bent or deformed in response to the magnetic field when placed in the magnetic field.
II. Electric field / magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite The electric field / magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite according to the present invention comprises a noble metal layer and a ferromagnetic material layer on a substrate.

基材上への貴金属層の形成は、例えば、特許第２，９６１，１２５号公報に記載された
手法に従って行うことができる。 Formation of the noble metal layer on the substrate can be performed, for example, according to the technique described in Japanese Patent No. 2,961,125.

すなわち、所定の貴金属(金、白金、パラジウム、ロジウム、ルテニウムなど)の錯体を含む水溶液に基材を浸漬して、貴金属錯体を基材に吸着させた後、吸着された貴金属錯体を還元剤により還元して、基材表面に貴金属を析出させ、さらに必要に応じて、表面に貴金属層が形成された基材を洗浄する。この吸着操作、還元操作および洗浄操作も、必要に応じて繰り返し行うことにより、貴金属層の厚さを増大させることができる。   That is, after immersing the base material in an aqueous solution containing a complex of a predetermined noble metal (gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, etc.) to adsorb the noble metal complex to the base material, Reduction is performed to deposit a noble metal on the surface of the base material, and if necessary, the base material on which the noble metal layer is formed is washed. This adsorption operation, reduction operation, and washing operation can be repeated as necessary to increase the thickness of the noble metal layer.

次いで、上述の磁場応答固体高分子複合体の製造手法に準じて、貴金属層を備えた基材を所定の強磁性体金属イオンを含む無電解メッキ液に浸漬し、金属イオンを吸着させ、金属イオンを吸着した基材を還元剤水溶液に浸漬した後、必要ならばさらに水洗して、基材表面に貴金属層と強磁性材料層とを備えた所望の電場・磁場応答固体高分子複合体を得る。   Next, in accordance with the above-described method for producing a magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite, a base material provided with a noble metal layer is immersed in an electroless plating solution containing a predetermined ferromagnetic metal ion to adsorb the metal ion, After immersing the substrate on which ions are adsorbed in a reducing agent aqueous solution, if necessary, it is further washed with water to obtain a desired electric / magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite comprising a noble metal layer and a ferromagnetic material layer on the substrate surface. obtain.

電場・磁場応答固体高分子複合体においても、基材、貴金属層および強磁性材料層の厚さは、目的乃至用途に応じて適宜選択することができる。基材および強磁性材料層の厚さは、上述の磁場応答固体高分子複合体の場合と同様である。基材と強磁性体層との間に介在する貴金属層の厚さは２〜１５μｍ程度(より好ましくは、３〜５μｍ程度)である。   Also in the electric field / magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite, the thicknesses of the base material, the noble metal layer and the ferromagnetic material layer can be appropriately selected according to the purpose or application. The thicknesses of the base material and the ferromagnetic material layer are the same as those of the above-described magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite. The thickness of the noble metal layer interposed between the substrate and the ferromagnetic layer is about 2 to 15 μm (more preferably about 3 to 5 μm).

本発明による電場・磁場応答固体高分子複合体は、電場と磁場とに対して、鋭敏に応答して大きく湾曲或いは変形するというユニークな特性を示す。従って、電場と磁場内におけるその変位量は、前記の磁場応答固体高分子複合体の磁場内における変位量よりも著しく大きくなる。   The electric field / magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite according to the present invention exhibits a unique characteristic of being greatly bent or deformed in response to an electric field and a magnetic field. Therefore, the displacement amount in the electric field and the magnetic field is significantly larger than the displacement amount in the magnetic field of the magnetic field responsive solid polymer composite.
