Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a dry film ( 3 ), wherein a dry powder mixture is processed into the dry film ( 3 ) by a rolling device comprising a first roller ( 2 a ) and a second roller ( 2 b ). The first roller ( 2 a ) has a higher circumferential rotational speed than the second roller ( 2 b ), and the dry film ( 3 ) is placed on the first roller ( 2 a ).

Claims (18)

1. A method for producing a dry film, in which

a dry powder mixture is processed into the dry film by a rolling device having a first roll and a second roll, wherein

the first roll has a higher rotational peripheral speed than the second roll and the dry film is supported on the first roll,

wherein a ratio of the rotational peripheral speed of the first roll to the rotational peripheral speed of the second roll of 10:5 to 10:1 is maintained, and

wherein the dry powder mixture contains polytetrafluoroethylene.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rolling device is a calendar rolling device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein for the production of the dry film, the dry powder mixture is a non-flowable dry powder mixture.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first roll is provided with an adhesion-enhancing modification, and/or the second roll is provided with an adhesion-reducing modification.

5. The method as claimed claim 1 , wherein the dry film is applied to a substrate, wherein the substrate, for the application, is moved at a speed equal to the rotational peripheral speed of the first roll.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the substrate is moved over the first roll while the dry film is formed on the substrate.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dry film is formed by the first roll and the second roll with a linear force, acting in the nip between the rolls, of 100 N/cm to 10 kN/cm.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the substrate consisting of a metallic material is used.

9. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein prior to the lamination of the dry film on the substrate, the substrate is provided with a thermoplastic primer.

10. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the substrate consisting of an expanded metal, a metal wire mesh, a nonwoven fabric, a copper foil or an aluminum foil with an applied carbon primer is used.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dry film is formed with a thickness less than 500 μm.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dry powder mixture, contains a conductive additive, porous carbon, a transition-metal oxide and/or sulfur.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein by shearing in a nip, the dry film is formed which has fibrils formed anisotropically in the rotational direction of the first and second rolls.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a formation of a structuring of the dry film in strip form, or in rectangle form in the rotational direction of the second roll is achieved by coating an adhesion-enhancing primer layer on respective substrate surface regions.
