Abstract

Provided is a multilayer porous film having a porous film comprised of a resin composition comprising a polypropylene and one or more polyolefins other than polypropylenes and an inorganic filler-containing porous layer stacked on at least on one side of the porous film. The multilayer porous film is capable of preventing short circuit between two electrodes even when a heat generation amount is large at the time of abnormal heat generation and therefore satisfying both excellent heat resistance and good shutdown function.

Claims (26)

1. A multilayer porous film comprising:

a porous film which is composed of a resin composition comprising a polypropylene and one or more polyolefins other than polypropylenes, wherein the polypropylene content in the resin composition is from 0.5 to 35 mass % based on the total amount of the polyolefins, and

a porous layer stacked and adhered on at least one side of the porous film and comprising an inorganic filler and a resin binder, wherein the mass fraction of the inorganic filler in the porous layer is 95% or greater and less than 100%.

2. A multilayer porous film comprising:

a porous film comprising a polyolefin resin as a main component thereof, wherein 0.5 to 35% of the polyolefin resin is polypropylene based on the total amount of polyolefins, and

a porous layer adhered on at least one side of the porous film, such porous layer being composed of a resin binder and alumina particles having an average particle diameter of 0.5 μm or greater but not greater than 1.2 μm, wherein the mass fraction of the alumina particles in the porous layer is 95% or greater and less than 100%.

3. The multilayer porous film according to claim 2 , wherein the porous film is composed of a resin composition comprising a polypropylene and one or more polyolefins other than polypropylenes.

4. The multilayer porous film according to claim 2 or 3 , wherein the porous layer has a thickness of 3 μm or greater but not greater than 6 μm.

5. A multilayer porous film comprising:

a porous film comprising a polyolefin resin as a main component thereof, wherein 0.5 to 35% of the polyolefin resin is polypropylene based on the total amount of polyolefins, and

a porous layer adhered on a least one side of the porous film, such porous layer being composed of a resin binder and alumina particles, 50% or greater of the total number of the alumina particles having a particle diameter of 0.4 μm or greater but not greater than 1.5 μm, wherein the mass fraction of the alumina particles in the porous layer is 95% or greater and less than 100%.

6. The multilayer porous film according to claim 5 , wherein 45% or greater of the total number of the alumina particles have a particle diameter of 0.5 μm or greater but not greater than 1.5 μm.

7. The multilayer porous film according to claim 5 or 6 , wherein 35% or greater of the total number of the alumina particles have a particle diameter of 0.5 μm or greater but not greater than 1.2 μm.

8. The multilayer porous film according to claim 5 or 6 , wherein the porous film is composed of a resin composition comprising a polypropylene and one or more polyolefins other than polypropylenes.

9. The multilayer porous film according to claim 5 or 6 , wherein the porous layer has a thickness of 3 μm or greater but not greater than 6 μm.

10. A multilayer porous film comprising:

a porous film comprising a polyolefin resin as a main component thereof, wherein 0.5 to 35% of the polyolefin resin is polypropylene based on the total amount of polyolefins, and

a porous layer adhered on at least one side of the porous film, such porous layer being composed of a resin binder and particles comprising light calcium carbonate as a main component thereof, wherein the mass fraction of the particles in the porous layer is 95% or greater and less than 100%.

11. The multilayer porous film according to claim 10 , wherein the particles comprising light calcium carbonate as a main component thereof are columnar, needle-shaped, or spindle-shaped particles.

12. The multilayer porous film according to claim 10 or 11 , wherein the porous film is composed of a resin composition comprising a polypropylene and polyolefins other than polypropylenes.

13. The multilayer porous film according to claim 10 or 11 , wherein the porous layer has a thickness of 2 μm or greater but not greater than 5 μm.

14. The multilayer porous film according to any one of claims 1 to 3 , 5 , 6 , 10 and 11 , wherein the polypropylene content in the resin composition is from 1 to 30 mass % based on the total amount of the polyolefins.

15. The multilayer porous film according to any one of claims 1 to 3 , 5 , 6 , 10 and 11 , wherein the polyolefins other than the polypropylene is a polyethylene.

16. A nonaqueous electrolyte battery separator comprising the multilayer porous film as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 , 5 , 6 , 10 and 11 .

17. A nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprising the battery separator as claimed in claim 16 .

18. The multilayer porous film according to claim 5 , wherein 65% or greater of the total number of alumina particles have a particle diameter of 0.4 μm or greater but not greater than 1.5 μm.
