- glass fibers whose surfaces are coated with high acid resistance glass or glass fibers whose surface acid resistance is increased by leaching can be used as reinforcing fibers.
- the average fiber diameter of the reinforcing glass fibers is in the range of 0.1 m to 10 ⁇ m. Average diameter is 0 .: If it is less than m, the manufacturing cost becomes extremely high, which is not realistic. On the other hand, when the average diameter exceeds 10 m, it becomes difficult to form a uniform and flat proton conductive membrane with a thickness of 25 m or less. For example, at a portion where three or more fibers are entangled in the membrane, a convex portion is formed on the membrane surface, or glass fibers are exposed.
- the thickness of the proton conductive membrane is preferably 100 m or less, more preferably 50 m or less, and further preferably 25 m or less.

- the average aspect ratio of the glass fiber is less than 50, the effect of improving the mechanical strength is small, and the effect of suppressing the size increase when wet is hardly recognized.
- the average aspect ratio of the glass fiber exceeds 5,000, it becomes difficult to uniformly disperse the polymer electrolyte dispersion and the glass fiber during production.
- the mechanical strength of a small portion of the glass fiber is low, and when stress is applied, the glass tends to break starting from the low strength portion. For this reason, the strength of the proton conductive membrane as a whole is lower than when the glass fibers are uniformly dispersed. Further, since there is a difference in the ratio of expansion when wet between the portion where glass fiber is present and the portion where glass fiber is not present, the surface of the film is uneven. If the unevenness of the film surface is large, problems such as reduced durability during use are likely to occur. Therefore, the average aspect ratio of the reinforcing glass fiber is 5000 or less, and preferably 3000 or less.

- the surface of the reinforcing glass fiber may be treated with a silane coupling agent!

As a result, the occurrence of micro-peeling between the two can be suppressed, and the reinforcing effect by the glass fiber becomes extremely high.
- the adhesion amount (adhesion solid content) of the silane coupling agent is preferably in the range of 0.5 mg to 200 mg per lm 2 of the surface area of the glass fiber.
- the adhesion amount is less than 0.5 mgZm 2 , the silane coupling agent cannot sufficiently cover the glass fiber surface, and the effect of improving the adhesion between the glass fiber and the proton conductive polymer is lowered.
- the adhesion amount exceeds 200 mgZm 2 , a low-strength layer consisting only of silane is formed between the glass fiber and the polymer, and destruction within the layer is likely to occur. As a result, the effect of improving the adhesion between the glass fiber and the polymer is substantially reduced.
