  • Patent number: 7780014
    Abstract: A composition is formed by blending a vinylidene fluoride resin having a relatively high molecular weight and an improved crystallinity represented by a difference Tm2?Tc of at most 32° C. between an inherent melting point Tm2 and a crystallization temperature Tc of the resin with a plasticizer and a good solvent for vinylidene fluoride resin, and the composition is melt-extruded into a hollow fiber-form. The hollow fiber-form extrudate is then cooled to be solidified from an outside thereof by introduction into cooling medium and subjected to extraction of the plasticizer and stretching, thereby forming a hollow fiber porous membrane of vinylidene fluoride resin characterized by co-presence of crystal oriented portion and crystal non-oriented portion recognizable by X-ray diffraction method.

  • Patent number: 7582353
    Abstract: Monofilaments comprising resin compositions which contain 1% by mass or more of a comonomer component (for example, hexafluoropropylene), have an intrinsic viscosity of 1.3 dl/g or more and a melting point of 165° C. or higher and contain a PVDF-based resin. Owing to the above composition and physical properties, the crystallinity and elastic modulus of the PVDF-based resin are altered. As a result, an appropriate flexibility can be imparted to the monofilaments while preventing deterioration in the mechanical properties.

  • Publication number: 20090206035
    Abstract: A hollow-fiber porous membrane, comprising a hollow fiber-form porous membrane in a network texture of vinylidene fluoride resin showing a pore size distribution in a direction of its membrane thickness including an outer surface-average pore size P1 as measured by a scanning electron microscope and a membrane layer-average pore size P2 as measured by half-dry method giving a ratio P1/P2 of at least 2.5. The hollow-fiber porous membrane is excellent in long-term water filtration performance including efficiency of regeneration by air scrubbing. The hollow-fiber porous membrane is produced through a process, wherein a mixture of vinylidene fluoride resin, a plasticizer and a good solvent for vinylidene fluoride resin, is melt-extruded in a hollow-fiber film and cooled and formed into a solidified film within a cooling medium containing at least a certain proportion of a good solvent for vinylidene fluoride resin.

  • Patent number: 7455772
    Abstract: A vinylidene fluoride resin having a weight-average molecular weight as relatively high as 300,000 or higher is mixed with a plasticizer and good solvent for the vinylidene fluoride resin to obtain a composition. A molten extrudate of the composition in a hollow-fiber membrane state is contacted, on its outer side, with a cooling liquid inert to the vinylidene fluoride resin to thereby cool the extrudate. During the solidification, the vinylidene fluoride resin is moderately and mildly crystallized. Thus, a hollow-fiber porous vinylidene fluoride resin membrane is produced which has a high crystallinity represented by an enthalpy of crystal melting 58 J/g or higher. The hollow-fiber porous membrane obtained is excellent in mechanical strength represented by tensile strength and elongation at break and in chemical resistance. It is effectively used as a water microfiltration membrane.
