A polypyrrole film comprising: an electrolytic solution containing a solvent; wherein the electrolytic solution contains perchlorate ions; and a conductive polymer film is formed on the working electrode by applying a voltage to the working electrode and the counter electrode. In the manufacturing method is there.

It is possible to obtain a polypyrrole film having both a large expansion / contraction ratio per cycle and high mechanical properties. In the case where the electrolyte does not contain an aromatic ester as a solvent,
、 1酸ィ匕還元サイクル当たりの大きな伸縮率と高い機械的物性とを兼ね備えたポリピ ロール膜を得ることは難しい。 However, it is difficult to obtain a polypyrrole film having both a large expansion and contraction rate per one oxidation cycle and high mechanical properties.

[0040] 〔伸縮率の測定方法〕 [Method of measuring expansion / contraction ratio]
実施例 1一 3及び比較例 1で得られた膜状の導電性高分子成形品を長さ 15mm、 幅 2mmの動作電極とし、白金プレートを対向電極とし、それぞれ電極の端部に、動 作電極を前記電解液中に保持し、リードを介して電源と接続して、電位 (-0. 9— + 0 . 7V v. s. AgZAg+)を 1サイクル印カロして変位量 (変位した長さ)を測定した。動 作電極が 1サイクルの印加(1酸ィ匕還元サイクル)で伸長と収縮とをすることにより得ら れた変位の差を、動作電極の元の長さで割ることにより、最初の酸化還元サイクルで ある 1酸ィ匕還元サイクル当たりの伸縮率を求めた。  The film-shaped conductive polymer molded products obtained in Examples 13 and 13 and Comparative Example 1 were used as working electrodes having a length of 15 mm and a width of 2 mm, and a platinum plate was used as a counter electrode. The electrode is held in the electrolyte, connected to a power supply via a lead, and the potential (−0.9— + 0.7 V vs AgZAg +) is applied for one cycle to determine the displacement (displaced length). It was measured. The first oxidation-reduction process is performed by dividing the difference in displacement obtained by extending and contracting the working electrode by one cycle of application (one oxidation reduction cycle) by the original length of the working electrode. The expansion / contraction ratio per cycle, ie, one cycle of reduction of the acid, was determined.
[0041] (伸縮率の測定方法) (Method of measuring expansion ratio)
実施例 1一 3及び比較例 1で得られたポリピロ一ル膜をそれぞれ長さ 20mmの短冊 状に裁断した後に、タブ間隔が約 4mmとなるようにアルミタブ力卩ェを施して 5mm幅 短冊である試験片をそれぞれ作成した。各試験片を用いて、 JIS K7127のフィルム 引張試験 (強さ)に準拠して、試験速度 0. 5mmZminで引張強度を公知の装置を 用いて測定した。なお、引張強度の測定には、試験機「INSTRON5582型」を用い て測定した。  After cutting the polypropylene films obtained in Examples 13 and 13 and Comparative Example 1 into strips each having a length of 20 mm, the strips were subjected to aluminum tabbing so that the tab interval was about 4 mm, and the strips were cut into 5 mm width strips. Each test piece was prepared. Using each test piece, the tensile strength was measured at a test speed of 0.5 mmZmin using a known apparatus in accordance with the JIS K7127 film tensile test (strength). The tensile strength was measured using a tester “INSTRON5582”.

[0043] (結果) [0043] (Result)
実施例 1一 3のポリピロール膜は、 1酸化還元サイクル当たりの伸縮率が 11. 2— 13 . 5%であるので、電解伸縮による伸縮の最大値が 11. 2%以上であり、さらに機械 的強度(引張り強度)も 60.1MPa以上であった。従って、実施例 1一 3のポリピロール 膜は、電解重合時に、溶媒として芳香族エステルを用いていることから、製造作業性 の良好な過塩素酸イオンを電解質に用いても、電解伸縮における 1酸化還元サイク ル当たりの伸縮率に優れ、しかも機械的強度に優れていた。 Example 13 The polypyrrole membrane of Example 13 has a stretching ratio per oxidation-reduction cycle of 11.2 to 13.5%, so the maximum value of stretching due to electrolytic stretching is 11.2% or more. The mechanical strength (tensile strength) was also 60.1 MPa or more. Therefore, the polypyrrole film of Example 13 uses an aromatic ester as a solvent at the time of electrolytic polymerization. The extensibility per reduction cycle was excellent and the mechanical strength was excellent.
[0044] 一方、比較例 1のポリピロ一ル膜は金属電極を用いて ヽるが、芳香族エステルを溶 媒として用いな力つたことから、実施例 1一 3のポリピロール膜に比べて機械的強度が 低下した。 On the other hand, although the polypyrrole film of Comparative Example 1 was formed by using a metal electrode, it was mechanically different from the polypyrrole film of Examples 13 to 13 because it did not use an aromatic ester as a solvent. Strength decreased.
産業上の利用可能性  Industrial applicability
[0045] 本発明のポリピロール膜の製造方法は、電解液中に過塩素酸イオンを含むことから 、ポリピロールの製造作業性が他のマイナスイオンを支持電解質に含む電解液を用 いたポリピロール膜の製造方法に比べて、製造作業性が良好である。さらに、本発明 のポリピロール膜の製造方法は、電解液中に過塩素酸イオンを含み、さらに電解液 中に芳香族エステルを含むことから、電気化学的な酸化還元による伸縮における 1 酸ィ匕還元サイクル当たりの伸縮率が大きぐ機械的強度が高いポリピロ一ル膜を得る ことができる。 [0045] In the method for producing a polypyrrole film of the present invention, since the electrolytic solution contains perchlorate ions, the polypyrrole production operability is reduced in the production of the polypyrrole film using the electrolytic solution containing another negative ion in the supporting electrolyte. Manufacturing workability is better than the method. Furthermore, the method for producing a polypyrrole film according to the present invention includes the step of reducing peroxidation due to electrochemical oxidation-reduction because the electrolyte contains perchlorate ions and the electrolyte further contains an aromatic ester. It is possible to obtain a polypyrrole film having a high mechanical strength and a large expansion / contraction ratio per cycle.
[0046] 上記製造方法により得られたポリピロール膜は、電気化学的な酸ィ匕還元による伸縮 における 1酸ィ匕還元サイクル当たりの伸縮率が大きぐ機械的強度が高いことから、ァ クチユエータ素子として好適に用いることができる。さらに、前記ポリピロ一ル膜を変 位部に用いたァクチユエータ素子は、電気化学的な酸化還元による伸縮における 1 酸ィ匕還元サイクル当たりの伸縮率が大きぐ機械的強度が高いことから、マ-ピユレ ータ及びロボットに代表される機械的衝撃が与えられる装置の駆動部に用いられる ァクチユエータ素子として好適に用いることができる。  [0046] The polypyrrole film obtained by the above production method has a high mechanical strength with a large expansion ratio per one oxidation / reduction cycle in the expansion and contraction by electrochemical oxidation / reduction, and thus has a high mechanical strength. It can be suitably used. Further, the actuator element using the above-mentioned polypyrrole film as a dislocation portion has a large mechanical expansion ratio per one oxidation reduction cycle in the expansion and contraction by electrochemical oxidation-reduction, and thus has a high mechanical strength. It can be suitably used as an actuator element used in a drive unit of a device to which a mechanical shock is applied, such as a pulser and a robot.
