    摘要: The disclosed porous membranes and freestanding composites containing the porous membranes have a solution-cast three-dimensional polymer matrix defining interconnecting pores that provide overall first major surface-to-second major surface fluid permeability. The porous membranes and freestanding composites can be used to separate lead-acid battery electrodes. The porous membranes and freestanding composites can have high porosity and low electrical resistance while having both excellent flexibility and mechanical strength. This can reduce the probability of damage to the separators during battery assembly and also allow production of battery separators with a high overall height, but a minimal backweb thickness.

    摘要: A flexible microporous polymer sheet having first and second opposite major surfaces comprises a polymer matrix binding a filler component that exhibits high oil absorption capacity in its initial state before the start of material processing. The polymer matrix includes a polyolefin component and has three-dimensional interconnecting and interpenetrating pore and polymer networks through which the bound filler component is distributed from the first major surface to the second major surface. The polyolefin and filler components are included in amounts that result in a microporous polymer sheet having between about 75% and about 90% porosity and containing less than about 10 wt. % polyolefin component. Preferred polyolefin and filler components include ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and high oil absorption precipitated silica, respectively.
