Patent number: 9437881Abstract: There is provided a reinforcing material equipped with a cohesive/adhesive layer, having a proper initial adhesion force to an adherend, such as an electrolyte membrane, a catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer, and which can be temporarily fixed readily. A reinforcing material produced by forming a cohesive/adhesive layer on a substrate. The cohesive/adhesive layer includes an aliphatic polyamide, an epoxy resin and a polythiol. When the reinforcing material is used, it becomes possible to correct the position of an adherend after the adhesion of the reinforcing material to the adherend. In addition, it can prevent the formation of wrinkles on the adherend or the like upon the adhesion of the reinforcing material. Therefore, a catalyst layer laminated membrane or the like which has a reinforcing material attached thereto can be produced readily without requiring the employment of any highly skilled technique.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: DAI NIPPON PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Hirotoshi Sakamoto, Takahisa Taniguchi, Koujun Utaka, Hidenori Asai, Kazufumi Kodani, Kuniaki Yoshikata
