Abstract

A loudspeaker diaphragm includes a main material containing molecules each having a hydroxyl group, and a diamondoid derivative. The diamondoid derivative contains molecules each having two or more hydrogen-bonding functional groups. Each of the two or more hydrogen-bonding functional groups in each of the molecules of the diamondoid derivative is bonded to the hydroxyl group in each of the molecules of the main material.

Claims (15)

1. A loudspeaker diaphragm comprising:

a main material comprising molecules each having a hydroxyl group; and

a diamondoid derivative comprising molecules each having two or more hydrogen-bonding functional groups,

wherein each of the two or more hydrogen-bonding functional groups in each of the molecules of the diamondoid derivative is bonded to the hydroxyl group in each of the molecules of the main material.

2. The loudspeaker diaphragm according to claim 1 , wherein one of the molecules of the diamondoid derivative is bonded to two or more molecules on a surface of the loudspeaker diaphragm, among the molecules of the main material.

3. The loudspeaker diaphragm according to claim 2 , wherein another one of the molecules of the diamondoid derivative is bonded to two or more molecules inside the loudspeaker diaphragm, among the molecules of the main material.

4. The loudspeaker diaphragm according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more hydrogen-bonding functional groups is selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, an amide group, a carboxy group, and an epoxy group.

5. The loudspeaker diaphragm according to claim 1 , wherein each of the molecules of the diamondoid derivative contains, as a main structure, one of an adamantane group, a diamantane group, and a biadamantane group.

6. A loudspeaker comprising:

the diaphragm according to claim 1 ;

an edge coupled to an outer periphery of the diaphragm;

a magnetic circuit provided with a magnetic gap, and including a yoke, a magnet, and a plate;

a frame attached to the magnetic circuit, and supporting the outer periphery of the diaphragm via the edge;

a voice coil having a first end attached to the diaphragm and a second end wound with a coil located in the magnetic gap; and

a damper coupled to the frame and the voice coil.
