Abstract

This invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for conveying an electrolyte membrane. When processing a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), said pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can contribute to making it easier to handle a polymer electrolyte membrane being conveyed and preventing deformation and wrinkling of said polymer electrolyte membrane. This pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for conveying an electrolyte membrane comprises a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer positioned on one or both surfaces of said substrate. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer(s) partially or completely lose(s) adhesiveness upon an external stimulus. In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer(s) contain(s) thermally expandable microspheres.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for transporting an electrolyte membrane and a method for producing a fuel cell membrane / electrode assembly using the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Background technique [0002] Generally, a membrane / electrode assembly (MEA), which is a component of a fuel cell, is a laminate formed of a polymer electrolyte membrane, a gas diffusion electrode, and the like. From the viewpoints of production efficiency and production cost, etc., the membrane / electrode complex of such a laminate structure needs to be laminated and manufactured by a continuous method. As a continuous production method, the following method is known: a method of forming a catalyst layer by coating on both sides of a long polymer electrolyte membrane and laminating a gas diffusion layer on the catalyst layer; A method of laminating a gas diffusion electrode having a catalyst layer on both sides of a polymer electroly...
