Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns an ultra thin polymer film electret comprising a polymer and a substrate having a surface electric charge, wherein a side chain of the polymer and the substrate are physically or chemically bonded. A method of manufacturing an ultra thin polymer film electret comprising: adsorbing a monomolecular film comprising a unsaturated group or a laminated film comprising the monomolecular film on to a substrate surface, irradiating the monomolecular film or the laminated film with an energy beam to polymerize the unsaturated groups and applying a high voltage to the film is also disclosed. Further, a method of manufacturing an ultra thin polymer film electret comprising: physically bonding a side chain of the polymer to a substrate surface to form a thin film and applying a high voltage to the thin film is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 100 words
A method of manufacturing an ultra thin polymer film electret having a dipole, comprising: (1) adsorbing a monomolecular film comprising an unsaturated group on to a substrate surface by subjecting an active hydrogen group on the substrate surface to a dehydrochlorination reaction with a compound containing an unsaturated group and at least one group selected from the group consisting of a chlorosilyl group, a chlorotitanyl group and a chlorostannyl group, (2) irradiating said monomolecular film with an energy beam to polymerize the unsaturated groups, and (3) applying a high voltage of 10 4 to 10 7 V/cm to said film.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 100 words
A method of manufacturing an ultra thin polymer film electret having a dipole, comprising: (1) adsorbing a monomolecular film comprising an unsaturated group on to a substrate surface by subjecting an active hydrogen group on the substrate surface to a dehydrochlorination reaction with a compound containing an unsaturated group and at least one group selected from the group consisting of a chlorosilyl group, a chlorotitanyl group and a chlorostannyl group, (2) irradiating said monomolecular film with an energy beam to polymerize the unsaturated groups, and (3) applying a high voltage of 10 4 to 10 7 V/cm to said film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 61 words
The method of manufacturing an ultra thin polymer film electret having a dipole according to claim 1 further comprising: substituting the unsaturated group of the monomolecular film to an active hydrogen group by electron beam irradiation and subjecting said active hydrogen group to a dehydrochlorination reaction with the compound to adsorb another film on the monomolecular film after the step (1).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
The method of manufacturing an ultra thin film electret according to claim 1, wherein said substrate is selected from the group consisting of quartz, glass, fluoride glass, metallic glass, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, titanium, silicon and germanium.
