Abstract

A polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane includes at least first microporous layers which form both surface layers of the membrane and at least a second microporous layer disposed between the both surface layers, wherein static friction coefficient of one of the surface layers of the polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane against another surface layer in a longitudinal direction (MD) is 1.1 or less, and wherein pore density calculated from an average pore radius measured by mercury porosimetry method and porosity, according to Formula (1) is 4 or more:

Pore density=( P/A 3 )×10 4   (1)

wherein A represents the average pore radius (nm) measured by mercury porosimetry method and P represents the porosity (%).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane comprising:
at least first microporous layers which form both surface layers of the membrane and at least a second microporous layer disposed between said both surface layers, wherein static friction coefficient of one of said surface layers of said polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane against another surface layer in a longitudinal direction (MD) is 1.1 or less, and wherein pore density calculated from an average pore radius measured by mercury porosimetry method and porosity, according to Formula (1) is 4 or more:
pore density=( P/A 3 )×10 4   (1)

wherein A represents the average pore radius (nm) measured by mercury porosimetry method and P represents the porosity (%),
the composition of the first microporous layer and the composition of the second microporous layer are different from each other, and
the layer thickness ratio of the first microporous layer/the second microporous layer/the first microporous layer is from 0.05/0.9/0.05 to 0.3/0.4/0.3,
said second microporous layer contains 35% by weight or more of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene having a Mw of 1×10 6 or more, and said first microporous layers contain 5% to 30% by weight of polypropylene.

2. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane of claim 1 , having a breakdown voltage of 1.4 kV/11.5 μm or more, and an air permeability of 250 seconds/100 cc or less.

3. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane of claim 2 , having an electrochemical stability of 65 mAh or less.

4. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane of claim 2 , wherein said first microporous layers contain 10% by weight or less of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.

5. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane of claim 1 , wherein said first microporous layers contain 10% by weight or less of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.

6. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane of claim 1 , wherein the first microporous layers contain 5% to 20% by weight of polypropylene.
