A METHOD OF MAKING A MICROPOROUS BATTERY SEPARATOE COMPRISING PREPARING AN AQUEOUS SLURRY OF PLASTICENCAPSULATED FIBERS, CAUSING SUCH SLURRY TO FLOW ONTO AN ADVANCING CONVEYING MEANS, WHEREBY A THIN LAYER OF PLASTIC-ENCAPULATED FIBERS IS DEPOSITED ON SUCH CONVEYING MEANS, THE SAID CONVEYING MEANS SERVING AS A TEMPERARY SUPPORT FOR THE RESULTING SHEET OF FIBERS, SQUEEZING EXCESS WATER OUT OF THE SHEET OF FIBERS, PASSING THE THUS-SUPPORTED SHEET THROUGH A ZONE MAINTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 330* TO 500*F. TO REMOVE THE REMAINING WATER AND PARTIALLY FUSE THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE FIBERS WITHOUT COMPRESSING THE SHEET, PULLING THE SHEET FROM THE CONVEYING MEANS UNDER TENSION INTO THE NIP OF SPACED PINCH ROLLS HEATED TO A TEMPERATURE SLIGHTLY BELOW THE MELTING POINT OF THE PLASTIC WHEREBY THE SHEET IS COMPRESSED TO A DESIRED THICKNESS AND THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE FIBERS IS FURTHER FUSED TO FORM A STRONG, INTEGRAL SHEET, AND THEREAFTER COOLING THE SHEET.
