  • Patent number: 9583278
    Abstract: An electrical storage device electrode binder composition containing a polymer (A) and a liquid medium (B). A repeating unit (A4) derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is included in the polymer (A) in an amount of 5-40 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the total repeating units in polymer (A). The polymer (A) is in particle form, and the polymer particles have a surface acid content of 1-6 mmol/g.

  • Patent number: 8513349
    Abstract: A binder composition for the positive electrode of an electric storage device. The composition contains polymer alloy particles composed of: a polymer (A) having a recurring unit derived from vinylidene fluoride, ethylene tetrafluoride, propylene hexafluoride, or mixtures thereof; a polymer (B) having a recurring unit derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester; and water. The average diameter of the polymer alloy particles is 50 to 400 nm. The polymer alloy particles are synthesized by absorbing a monomer (b) to the polymer (A) and polymerizing the monomer (b) to synthesize the polymer (B).
