Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, a new method of simultaneously determining the thickness and ultrasound velocity of a material whose mechanical and acoustic properties are inhomogeneous and unknown supposing a conducting polymer thin film of a biofuel cell is presented. The thicknesses and the ultrasound velocities of the epoxy and the P3MT thin film on the metal substrate in the water were measured by the proposed method experimentally. The thicknesses of the epoxy and the P3MT thin films agreed well with a reference measured by laser microscope. These results indicate that the thickness of not only the epoxy, whose characteristics seem almost uniform, and the conducting polymer, whose mechanical and acoustic properties are inhomogeneous in the solution, can be precisely evaluated using the proposed method.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
バイオ燃料電池などに利用されている高分子薄膜は繊維状に合成された高分子によって形成されるため、その機械的な特性や音響特性が不均一であり、その厚さを合成中に計測することは極めて難しい。それに加えて、合成後に高分子の溶液から取り出すと、空気中では厚さや音響特性が変化してしまう。本研究では、音響共鳴法と超音波パルスエコー計測を組み合わせて、液中における音速塗膜厚の同時計測を実現した。音速が未知である薄膜材料であっても、溶液中における音速と膜厚の同時計測によってその厚さが計測可能であることを示した。
