  • Patent number: 11945927
    Abstract: [Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide a foam including a thermoplastic resin and rubber as a main component, in which a micronized product of a cellulose fiber is uniformly dispersed, and uniformity and mechanical properties are excellent. [Solution] A foam includes a modified cellulose fiber (A) covalently bonded with a diene-based polymer, a thermoplastic resin and/or rubber (B), and a diene-based polymer (C) having a functional group capable of covalently bonding with a cellulose fiber, in which the fiber (A) is micronized, the fiber (A) has a content of 0.05 to 20% by mass, and the thermoplastic resin and/or rubber (B) has a glass transition point of ?130° C. to 120° C.

  • Publication number: 20230344078
    Abstract: A separator for an electricity storage device has a cross-sectional crystal orientation of 0.85 or greater, and/or a method for producing the separator for an electricity storage device comprises a step of using a continuous mixer under conditions with a temperature of 20° C. to 70° C., a shear rate of 100 to 400,000 seconds?1 and a residence time of 1.0 seconds to 60 seconds, for mixing of polyethylene-containing polyolefin powder with a plasticizer to produce a mixed slurry, a step of extruding the mixed slurry and cooling it to solidification to process it into a cast sheet, and a step of biaxially stretching the cast sheet to an area increase factor of 20 to 200.
