Abstract: An object of the present application is to provide a binder for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having high adhesiveness to an active material and/or a current collector and also having high flexibility capable of withstanding bending in an electrode having a highly densified mixture layer.

Abstract: An objective is to provide a vinylidene fluoride polymer composition that is difficult to swell and dissolve in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and can form an electrode with a smooth surface. The vinylidene fluoride polymer composition contains a vinylidene fluoride polymer with a melting point of 130° C. or higher. When the vinylidene fluoride polymer composition and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are mixed to prepare a vinylidene fluoride polymer dispersion with a content of the vinylidene fluoride polymer of 6 mass %, a ratio of a viscosity of the vinylidene fluoride polymer dispersion at 30° C. to a viscosity of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 30° C. is 20 or less, and when the vinylidene fluoride polymer dispersion is stirred and then allowed to stand for 15 minutes, a rate of change in content of the vinylidene fluoride polymer in an upper 40 volume % area of the vinylidene fluoride polymer dispersion before and after the standing is 2 mass % or less.

Abstract: An object is to provide a resin composition excellent in dry adhesion to both a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Provided is a resin composition to solve the above issue, which contains a vinylidene fluoride copolymer containing: 73.7 mass% or more and 96.9 mass% or less of a constituent unit derived from vinylidene fluoride; 0.1 mass% or more and 1.3 mass% or less of a constituent unit containing a carboxy group; and 3 mass% or more and 25 mass% or less of an other constituent unit which does not contain a carboxy group and is derived from a compound copolymerizable with vinylidene fluoride, with the proviso that a total amount of the constituent units constituting the vinylidene fluoride is taken as 100 mass%. A solution obtained by dissolving 4 g of the vinylidene fluoride copolymer in 1 L of N,N-dimethylformamide has an intrinsic viscosity at 30° C. of 0.5 dL/g or more and 3 dL/g or less.

Abstract: A binder according to an embodiment of the present invention contains: a vinylidene fluoride polymer containing 50 mol % or greater of vinylidene fluoride units; and an oxime.
