Abstract
Ultrasonic transducers comprising an ultrasonic transducer element, a pair of electrodes provided on opposite sides of the element, and an acoustic impedance-matching layer formed on an ultrasonic wave-radiating surface of the element through one electrode. The acoustic impedance-matching layer is made of a porous polymer film or a composite material comprising thermally expanded resin microspheres dispersed in a cured product of thermosetting resin and has an acoustic impedance not larger than 0.6.times.10.sup.6 Ns/m.sup.3. Two-layer constructions may also be used as the acoustic impedance-matching layer.
