Abstract: This invention relates to a conducting organic polymer formed by doping an organic polymer with a protonic acid having a dissociation constant value pKa of less than 4.8, wherein the organic polymer has, as the main repeating unit, a compound represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein, m and n, respectively, show the molar fraction of the quinonediimine structural unit and phenylenediamine structural unit in the repeating unit, and 0<m<1, 0<n<1, and m+n=1; and the organic polymer is soluble in an organic solvent in the undoped state, and has an intrinsic viscosity ?.eta.! of more than 0.4 dl/g measured in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 30.degree. C. This invention also relates to a film formed of the conducting organic polymer and a conducting organic polymer composition.

Abstract: A porous film comprising a composition of 10 to 90% by weight of polypropylene and 10 to 90% by weight of polyethylene having an Mw/Mn ratio, as determined by high-temperature gel-permeation chromatography, of 10 or less is disclosed. The porous film has a high tensile modulus, a satisfactory appearance, and a uniform thickness. A battery separator comprising the porous film performs a shut-down function (an increase in resistance) in case of a temperature rise due to an abnormal current.
