Abstract

An embodiment according to the invention provides a separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery, containing a porous substrate and an adhesive porous layer that contains resin A and resin B1; (1) resin A: a copolymer containing vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP), in which a molar content of HFP monomer unit with respect to a total molar quantity of VDF monomer unit and HFP monomer unit is from more than 1.5 mol % to 3.5 mol %, and (2) resin B1: a copolymer containing VDF, HFP, and a monomer of formula (1), in which a molar content of HFP monomer unit with respect to a total molar quantity of VDF monomer unit, HFP monomer unit, and a monomer unit of formula (1) is from more than 3.5 mol % to 15 mol % (R 1 to R 3 : H, a halogen atom, a carboxyl group, etc., or a C 1-5 alkyl group; X: a single bond, a C 1-5 alkylene group, etc., Y: H, a C 1-5 alkyl group, etc.):

Claims (22)
