This is because it is difficult to manufacture the film with a thickness of less than μm. Also,
The reason for setting it to 200 μm or less is that if it is more than 200 μm, it will deviate from the desired physical property value as the diaphragm.

Table 2 shows the physical properties of the vibration plate 6 and the vibration plate made of PAN-based carbon fiber, which were measured by the vibration lead method. Further, as other comparative examples, physical properties of titanium and polypropylene (J108M) alone are also shown.

As is clear from the values shown in Table 2, comparing the product of the present invention comprising polypropylene and carbon nanotubes with the high elastic modulus carbon fiber as the reinforcing material, the product of the present invention has a higher density. It is low, lightweight and has a high elastic modulus.

On the other hand, the internal loss is not so different from that of polypropylene even if 20% by weight is added. Also, the sound velocity was about the same as that of metallic titanium.

As described above, the diaphragm for electroacoustic transducers according to the present invention is lighter in weight, higher in rigidity and higher in internal loss than the conventionally used carbon fiber reinforced diaphragm, graphite reinforced diaphragm, etc. , High-speed physical properties can be obtained.

The reason for this is that carbon nanotubes are cage materials (basket structures) and are based on graphite networks. However, carbon nanotubes, unlike graphite, have one longitudinal wave and two transverse waves.
This is because there is one torsional acoustic mode, and the acoustic velocities of these four acoustic modes are significantly higher than those of ordinary materials, reflecting the sp 2 coupling.
