Claims
- 1. An apparatus for manufacturing a solid polymer film with a catalyst deposited thereon made of a catalyst and a solid polymer film, comprising:
a heater that preheats the solid polymer film; a hot press machine that forms a joined member by heating and pressing at least one catalyst substrate carrying a catalyst on one side of a transfer substrate and the solid polymer film preheated with the heater while the catalyst and the solid polymer film are in contact; and a separating machine that separates the transfer substrate from the joined member.
- 2. A device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a cooling machine that cools the catalyst carrier substrate.
- 3. A device according to claim 1, wherein the separating machine separates the transfer substrate at an angle of substantially 180 degrees with respect to the integrated joined member.
- 4. A device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a cooling machine that cools the joined member.
- 5. A device according to claim 1, wherein the heater and the hot press machine are integrated.
- 6. A device according to claim 1, wherein the joined member is such that the catalyst is joined to both sides of the solid polymer film.
- 7. A method for manufacturing a solid polymer film with a catalyst deposited thereon made of a catalyst and a solid polymer film, comprising
preheating a solid polymer film; contacting a catalyst carrier surface of at least one catalyst carrier substrate carrying a catalyst on one side thereof with the preheated solid polymer film; forming a joined member by heating and pressing the catalyst carrier substrate and the solid polymer film; and separating the transfer substrate from the joined member.
- 8. A method according to claim 7, further comprising:
cooling the catalyst substrate prior to contacting the catalyst carrier substrate with the solid polymer film.
- 9. A method according to claim 7, wherein the angle between the transfer substrate and the solid polymer film becomes substantially 180 degrees in the separating step.
- 10. A method according to claim 7, further comprising:
cooling the solid polymer film with a catalyst deposited thereon prior to separating the transfer substrate.
