Abstract

PURPOSE:To manufacture a porous film having uniform pore size, without causing the reduction of the thickness, improving the speed of etching thereby shortening the processing time, by carrying out the radiation damage treatment of a polymer film, and etching the film during or after the irradiation of ultraviolet radiation, etc. CONSTITUTION:A polymer film is irradiated with high energy particles such as accelerated ions to form minute radiation damages, and then subjected to the chemical etching treatment to obtain a porous polymer film. In the above process, the chemical etching is carried out during or after the irradiation of the damaged film with ionizing radiation or ultraviolet radiation. The energy range of the accelerated ion is preferably 1-10MeV. The ionizing radiation is, e.g. various radiations almost inert to the undamaged part but sensitizing the damaged part of the film (e.g. X-ray, accelerated electron beam, etc.), and the ultraviolet radiation is those having a relatively long wavelength, i.e. about 200- 400nm.

As one of the methods for producing porous polymer films, a method that combines irradiation with high-energy particles and chemical etching treatment has been known. In this method, when a polymer film is irradiated with high-energy particles such as accelerated ions, irradiation damage (e.g., cleavage or ionization of the polymer chain of the polymer film) occurs near the path of these particles. This process takes advantage of the fact that the etching rate changes due to chemical etching treatment (e.g., hydroxide treatment, immersion treatment in an alkaline solution such as IJum) between the areas where high-energy particles have passed and the areas where they have not. In this case, many tiny holes are formed corresponding to the damaged area. In other words, the first
In the figure, elas are formed in the irradiation-damaged part B, which is formed near the passage path (3) of the high-energy particles (2) in the polymer film (1), and in the undamaged part A, which is not affected by the passage. If this ratio is sufficiently large, pores (4) with uniform pore diameters as shown in FIG. 2 are formed and a porous polymer film is obtained. However, with conventional irradiation with high-energy particles, the etching ratio of part B/part A is not sufficiently large, and as a result, a long etching time is required to form holes, as shown in Figure 3. In addition, the surface area A' of the polymer film itself that has not been damaged by long-term etching even if holes are formed.
The pores (Pg <'l) were easily etched and the diameter of the 4 pores themselves varied greatly in the thickness direction of the film.

These include nuclear fission fragments obtained by the decay of radioactive isotopes, α particles obtained by the decay of radioactive isotopes, and accelerated ions obtained by an accelerator.The appropriate energy range is 1 to 1° MeV. Among these, it is usually preferable to use accelerated ions using an accelerator because it is industrially convenient.

The chemical etching treatment in this invention refers to a so-called wet etching treatment in which a polymer film is immersed in a chemical etching agent for a predetermined period of time.Specific examples of the chemical etching agent include sodium hydroxide and potassium dichromate. Solvents that can mainly elute damaged portions of the polymer film can also be used, such as alkaline solutions such as Al-4-potassium solutions and acidic solutions such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

On the other hand, the ultraviolet rays in this invention are 200 to 400
Examples include ultraviolet rays with a relatively long wavelength of about nm, and ultraviolet rays from medium-high pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. can be used. Incidentally, even if an undamaged polymer film is irradiated with the above-mentioned ionizing radiation or ultraviolet rays, the damage caused by the irradiation cannot be obtained as in the case of irradiation with high-energy particles. It is thought that these radiations and ultraviolet rays only contribute to efficiently sensitizing the areas damaged by irradiation with high-energy particles. Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention provides that the polymeric film is subjected to radiation damage that corresponds to the intended pores, and then after being irradiated with ionizing radiation or ultraviolet radiation that cannot form such radiation damage. , provides a method for producing chemical esothems.

By subjecting the polymer film that has been or is being irradiated in this way to a chemical etching treatment,
A desired porous polymer film is obtained. At this time, the film obtained has a reduced thickness that is suppressed compared to a film obtained by conventional irradiation methods, and variations and fluctuations in the diameter of the formed pores in the thickness direction are also small. Therefore, it is convenient for various filters. Furthermore, even when forming pores with similar pore diameters, the method of the present invention can shorten the time required for chemical etching treatment.
Conversely, a porous polymer film having a large pore size can be obtained even with the same chemical processing time.
