The mixing ratio (mole ratio) of the above methacrylic acid and crosslinking agent is 10
If the 0 molar ratio, which is appropriately set to 100, is set to a value lower than the above range, a transparent film will not be formed, and if the value is set higher than the above range, the formed film will not be formed. Although the elasticity is very high, the strength is weak and cannot be put to practical use. Therefore, the above molar ratio is determined depending on the characteristics of the film to be manufactured. For example, if elasticity is important, choose a high value within the above range; 2) If strength is important, choose a low value. Just choose the value.

The methacrylic acid and crosslinking agent thus mixed are polymerized by the action of ammonium persulfate or other appropriate initiator to form a polymer film. The above polymerization is carried out by covalent cross-linking with the flexible cross-linking agent, and as a result, the bond energy is an order of magnitude larger than that of hydrogen bonds or hydrophobic bonds, and the polymer membrane has better elasticity than conventional Compared to reversibly stretchable polymer membranes, it has about 10 times better fracture strength against shear stress. Therefore, it has the characteristic that it is difficult to tear at the connection part with the jig that supports the membrane.

For example, a polymer film is made into a tape with a thickness of 0.2 mm, a width of 2 to 3 cm, and a length of 2 cm, and with a 1 g weight attached to one end, 0.5 mol of sodium hydroxide or 0.5 mol of hydrochloric acid is added. The length can be changed by placing it in a 5 mol solution, and by placing the above polymer membrane in a solution and changing the pn of the solution in the range of PHI-PH5, it can be expanded and contracted by nearly 50%. I was able to do that. Such a polymer film can be used as an output medium of a new type of lightweight actuator as a polymer material that performs reversible mechanical energy exchange.
