Abstract

Provided are a micro-porous hybrid film and a method for preparing the same, and more particularly, a micro-porous hybrid film capable of improving reliability of a battery by simultaneously improving thermal stability at a high temperature and water properties, and a method for preparing the same. In addition, the present invention relates to a micro-porous hybrid film suitable for a separator of a high capacity/high output lithium secondary battery capable of increasing production stability, long term stability, and performance of the battery by improving adhesive force between a micro-porous film and a coating layer and permeability and minimizing a water content by the coating layer.

Claims (17)

1. A micro-porous hybrid film comprising a coating layer formed on one surface or two surfaces of a micro-porous film, the coating layer being prepared from component(s) comprising one or more polymers comprising at least one maleic anhydride group or salt thereof,

wherein a contact angle of water upon a surface of the coating layer satisfies the following Equation 1:

90°≦initial contact angle; and

70°≦contact angle after 30 seconds.  [Equation 1]

2. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the polymer including the maleic anhydride group is a copolymer of one or at least two monomers selected from isobutylene, ethylene, methylvinylether, styrene, and octadecene monomers and maleic anhydride.

3. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the polymer including the maleic anhydride group is dissolved in water in the presence of an alkali component.

4. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 3 , wherein the alkali component is ammonia.

5. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 3 , wherein the alkali component is used in order to dissolve the polymer including the maleic anhydride group in water and removed after drying and aging.

6. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the coating layer is composed of only the polymer or composed to include the polymer, an inorganic particle, an organic particle, or a mixed particle of the inorganic and organic particles.

7. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 6 , wherein the inorganic particle is any one or at least two selected from alumina, aluminum hydroxide, silica, barium titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, clay, titanium oxide, glass powder, and boehmite, and

the organic particle is any one or at least two selected from polyvinylidenefluoride (PVdF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyurethane, polymethylpentene (PMP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polyester, polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polymethyleneoxide (PMO), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyethyleneoxide (PEO), polyamide (PA), polyamideimide (PAI), polysulfone (PS), polyethylsulfone (PES), polyarylate (PAR), polyimide (PI), polyaramid (PA), cellulose, and copolymers thereof.

8. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 7 , wherein the inorganic or organic particle has an average particle size of 0.1 to 5 μm.

9. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 6 , wherein the coating layer further includes a polymer having a T g of 0° C. or less; or a water soluble polymer selected from polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyacrylamide (PAAm), polyvinylacetate (PNVA), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyethyleneoxide (PEO), and copolymers thereof.

10. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the coating layer has a dried coating thickness of 1 to 10 μm and adhesive force of 0.5 Kgf/cm 2 or more.

11. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein a water content of the micro-porous hybrid film is 250 ppm/μm or less, a shrinkage ratio thereof at 130° C. in machine and transverse direction is 5% or less, and gas permeability (Gurley) is 50 to 1000 sec.

12. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 2 , wherein the polymer including the maleic anhydride group is dissolved in water in the presence of an alkali component.

13. The micro-porous hybrid film of claim 2 , wherein the coating layer is composed of only the polymer or composed to include the polymer, an inorganic particle, an organic particle, or a mixed particle of the inorganic and organic particles.
