  • Patent number: 8277897
    Abstract: A reactive polymer-supporting porous film is provided as a battery separator which comprises a porous substrate film and a partially crosslinked reactive polymer supported on the porous substrate film. The partially crosslinked reactive polymer is obtained by the reaction of a crosslinkable polymer having at least one group selected from the 3-oxetanyl group and epoxy group reactive with a polycarboxylic acid. The reactive polymer-supporting porous film has a separator and electrodes sufficiently bonded to each other and with low inner resistance suitably used for production of battery excellent in high rate performance. Further, provided is a method of producing a battery which comprises placing the electrode/reactive polymer-supporting porous film layered body in a battery container; introducing an electrolytic solution containing a cationic polymerization catalyst into the battery container thereby bonding the porous film and electrodes together.

  • Patent number: 7449362
    Abstract: The present invention provides an one-pack thermosetting type epoxy resin composition which is useful as an underfilling material used when a flip chip or a semiconductor package comprised of a semiconductor element held on a carrier base being mounted onto a wiring substrate; which can omit a fluxing process as adopted for improvement of the bonding force of bumps or solder balls particularly at said mounting and exhibits a good voidless property even at a reflow temperature; and which can be also applied as an adhesive, a paint, a coating material, a sealing material, or the like. The one-pack thermosetting type epoxy resin composition of the present invention comprises as essential ingredients, a liquid epoxy resin and a carboxylic acid having two or more carboxylic groups in molecule as a curing agent.
