Detailed Description of the Invention
SUMMARY
[16]
The present invention serves to solve the above problems, a coating layer of a multi-layer structure coated on the separator base material, the first coating layer has a glass transition temperature comprises a binder is less than 30 ℃, and the second coating layer has a glass transition temperature is by including a binder at least 30 ℃, improves the peel strength of the separator base material, and an object thereof is to provide an improved secondary battery separator adhesive force between the electrode material mixture layer.
Problem solving means
[17]
Secondary battery separator, a separator substrate made of a polymer resin, a porous structure, is coated on the separator substrate a first coating layer and the first coating layer including a first inorganic material and a first binder according to the present invention for achieving this purpose is coated on the second inorganic material and a second binder claim comprising a second coating, the first coating layer has a glass transition temperature (T containing g , and a third binder is less than) the 30 ℃, the second coating layer has a glass transition temperature (T g a) may be made of a structure comprising a fourth binder less than 30 ℃.
[18]
Secondary battery separator according to the present invention is a bar, as compared to the separation membrane formed two days coating layer on the separator base material, does not occur good thermal contraction, excellent in adhesion between the electrode advantages including a coating layer consisting of a first coating layer and second coating layer have.
