Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a porous layer adhering to a substrate, which comprises the steps: a. preparation of a composition comprising an organic polymer constituent and an inorganic-organic constituent and/or an inorganic constituent, b. application of this composition to a substrate and formation of a layer on the substrate, and c. removal of the inorganic-organic constituent and/or the inorganic constituent from the layer to form a porous layer adhering to the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method of producing porous beads, which comprises the steps of providing a first liquid phase comprising a bead matrix material and essentially edgy templating particle(s), said particle(s) being treated with a surface modifying agent; providing a second liquid phase which is immiscible with the first liquid phase; contacting the first phase and the second phase under conditions resulting in an emulsion of droplets comprised of the first liquid phase dispersed in the continuous second liquid phase; transforming the droplets to mesoporous beads by solidification of the liquid; and removing the templating particle(s) from the beads without causing any essential change of the surrounding bead, whereby hierarchical networks of pores are provided in the beads.

Abstract:
A porous biaxially oriented film comprising a copolymer of an ethylene having an intrinsic viscosity �.eta.! of from 3.5 to 10.0 dl/g and an .alpha.-olefin having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, the content of the .alpha.-olefin being in a number of from 1.0 to 7.5 per 1000 carbon atoms and the film retaining the structure which is based upon the microfibrils when it is heat-treated at 160.degree. C. under a constrained state and is then observed at room temperature, and a separator made of this film for batteries. The porous biaxially oriented film exhibits excellent gas permeating property over a practicable temperature range, exhibits excellent mechanical strength and, particularly, tensile strength, and loses gas permeating property when a maximum practicable temperature is exceeded. The film can be favorably used as a separator for batteries.

A product of additive manufacturing with a silicone-based ink includes a plurality of continuous filaments comprised of a siloxane matrix, wherein the continuous filaments are arranged in a geometric pattern, a plurality of inter-filament pores defined by the geometric pattern of the continuous filaments, and a plurality of intra-filament pores having an average diameter in a range of greater than 1 micron to less than 50 microns.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a crosslinked polyolefin separator and the crosslinked polyolefin separator obtained by the method are provided. The method includes (S1) mixing polyolefin, a diluting agent, an initiator and alkoxysilane containing a carbon-carbon double bonded group to an extruder, and then carrying out extrusion to obtain a silane-grafted polyolefin composition; (S2) molding and orienting the extruded silane-grafted polyolefin composition in the form of a sheet; (S3) introducing the oriented sheet to an extraction water bath containing a crosslinking catalyst to extract the diluting agent and perform aqueous crosslinking; and (S4) thermally fixing a resultant aqueous crosslinked product. The method can provide a separator having a high meltdown temperature and improved heat shrinkage.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polymer compositions (C) for the preparation of porous article, notably microporous membranes or hollow fibers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process of preparing a porous article from a blend of at least one semi-crystalline or amorphous polymer (P) with an additive followed by a step of shaping the article and contacting the article with water to dissolve the additive and create an interconnected pore network within the shaped article.
Abstract:
Various embodiments disclosed relate to pore inducers and porous abrasive forms made using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of forming a porous abrasive form including heating an abrasive composition including pore inducers to form the porous abrasive form. During the heating the pore inducers in the porous abrasive form reduce in volume to form induced pores in the porous abrasive form.
Abstract:
Shaped gel articles that are formed within a mold cavity and that retain the size and shape of the mold cavity upon removal from the mold cavity, sintered articles prepared from the shaped gel articles, and methods of making the sintered articles are provided. The shaped gel articles are formed from a casting sol that contains colloidal silica particles that are treated with a surface modification composition that includes a silane surface modification agent having a radically polymerizable group. The sintered article has a shape identical to the mold cavity (except in regions where the mold cavity was overfilled) and to the shaped gel article but reduced in size proportional to the amount of isotropic shrinkage.
