Abstract

A multilayer porous membrane comprising a porous membrane containing a polyolefin resin as a main component; and a porous layer containing an inorganic filler and a resin binder and laminated on at least one surface of the porous membrane; wherein the porous membrane has an average pore size d=0.035 to 0.060 μm, a tortuosity τ a =1.1 to 1.7, and the number B of pores=100 to 500 pores/μm 2 , which are calculated by a gas-liquid method, and the porous membrane has a membrane thickness L=5 to 22 μm.

Claims (9)

1. A separator for nonaqueous electrolyte batteries comprising: a porous membrane comprising a polyolefin resin as a main component; and a porous layer comprising an inorganic filler and a resin binder, where the porous layer is laminated on at least one surface of the porous membrane; wherein the porous membrane has an average pore size d=0.035 to 0.060 pm, a tortuosity τ a =1.1 to 1.7, a porosity E of more than 60% and 90% or less, a membrane thickness L=5 to 22 μm and a number B of pores equal to 100 to 500 pores/μm 2 , and wherein the inorganic filler is present in the porous layer in a proportion of not less than 50% and less than 100% by mass;

wherein the polyolefin resin composition comprises polypropylene and a polyolefin other than the polypropylene.

2. The separator for nonaqueous according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of the polypropylene based on total polyolefin in the resin composition is 1 to 35% by mass.

3. A separator for nonaqueous electrolyte batteries comprising the multilayer porous membrane according to claim 1 .

4. A nonaqueous electrolyte battery, comprising:

the separator for nonaqueous electrolyte batteries according to claim 3 ,

a positive electrode,

a negative electrode, and

an electrolytic solution.
