Abstract

A binder composition for an electrical storage device includes a polymer (A) and a liquid medium (B), where with respect to 100 mass % in total of repeating units contained in the polymer (A), the polymer (A) contains 15 mass % to 60 mass % of a repeating unit (a1) derived from a conjugated diene compound and 1 mass % to 10 mass % of a repeating unit (a2) derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid. In the binder composition, the following characteristics are satisfied: tan δ (loss elastic modulus/storage elastic modulus) in dynamic viscoelasticity of the polymer (A) has one peak top in a range of from −40° C. to less than 50° C. (tan δ(Tp1)), and has one peak top in a range of from 50° C. to 150° C. (tan δ(Tp2)), and the following relationship is satisfied tan δ(Tp2)/tan δ(Tp1)≥0.5.

Claims (28)

1 . A binder composition for an electrical storage device, comprising:

a polymer (A); and

a liquid medium (B),
