Abstract: An electrode to be used for a battery, the electrode including: a current collector, a first electrode layer arranged on the current collector, and a second electrode layer arranged on the first electrode layer, wherein the first electrode layer includes a first active material, and a first binder covering a surface of the first active material; the second electrode layer includes a second active material, and a second binder covering a surface of the second active material; and when C1 (%) designates a coverage of the first binder with respect to the first active material, and C2 (%) designates a coverage of the second binder with respect to the second active material, the C1 is larger than the C2.

Abstract: A main object of the present disclosure is to provide an electrode capable of reducing the resistance of a battery and also capable of improving resistance to high temperature storage. The present disclosure achieves the object by providing an electrode to be used for a battery, the electrode including a current collector and an electrode layer, wherein the electrode layer includes layers in the order of a first layer and a second layer; the first layer contains a first binder, the second layer contains a second binder, and a degree of swelling of the first binder is lower than a degree of swelling of the second binder.

Abstract: A low-temperature heat-shrinkable film having a haze value not larger than 8%, a heat shrinkability in the machine direction at a temperature of 90.degree. C. of at least 30%, and a shrinkage stress of at least 300 g/mm.sup.2, is made from a composition comprising (a) a linear ethylene polymer containing short-chain branches and having a density not larger than 0.940 g/cm.sup.2 and (b) an ethylene/propylene random copolymer containing 3.5 to 10% by weigh of units derived from ethylene, wherein the proportion of the ethylene/propylene random copolymer in the composition is 15 to 50% by weight.

Abstract: A heat resistant shrinkable film comprising a composition of (i) 50% to 90% by weight of an ethylene-propylene block copolymer with an ethylene content of 3% to 20% by weight and (ii) 50% to 10% by weight of an ethylene-propylene random copolymer with an ethylene content of 2 to 15% by weight and having a foam ratio of 3.0 or less.
