Abstract

A diaphragm for electro-acoustic transducers, especially a diaphragm for speakers, and a film for the diaphragm excellent in the formability and the durability in high-output operation are obtained. A diaphragm for electro-acoustic transducers formed of a film that contains a polybiphenyl ether sulfone resin (A) having a specific repetitive unit or contains it and a crystalline resin (B) such as polyaryl ketone resin; and a film for use for the diaphragm.

Claims (6)

1. A diaphragm for electro-acoustic transducers formed of a film that contains a polybiphenyl ether sulfone resin (A) having a repetitive unit of the following structural formula (1):

wherein R 1 to R 4 each represent —O—, —SO 2 —, —S— or C═O, but at least one of R 1 to R 4 is —SO 2 — and at least one of R 1 to R 4 is —O—; Ar 1 , Ar 2 and Ar 3 each represent an arylene group having from 6 to 24 carbon atoms; and a and b each are any of 0 or 1,

wherein the diaphragm consists of thermoplastic resins.

2. A diaphragm for electro-acoustic transducers formed of a film that contains a polybiphenyl ether sulfone resin (A) having a repetitive unit of the following structural formula (1):

wherein R 1 to R 4 each represent —O—, —SO 2 —, —S— or C═O, but at least one of R 1 to R 4 is —SO 2 — and at least one of R 1 to R 4 is —O—; Ar 1 , Ar 2 and Ar 3 each represent an arylene group having from 6 to 24 carbon atoms; and a and b each are any of 0 or 1 1

wherein the film does not contain a flame retardant.
