Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A solid polymeric electrolyte comprising a three-phase structure including a porous, woven or unwoven, substantially inert, fiber substrate, a film, impregnating said substrate, comprising fine particles of an ion exchange resin and a water insoluble matrix of an organic binder essentially permanently binding said particles to said fiber substrate and to each other, said binder having been precipitated onto said substrate from a mixture of binder, an organic solvent therefor and resin particles in suspension, by contact with a diluent characterized by a high degree of miscibility with said organic solvent and a relatively low degree of compatibility with said binder, forming an essentially continuous film of ion exchange resin and binder on said fiber substrate and in the interstices thereof capable of receiving a deposit thereon in the form of a cake of particulate solids, said solid polymeric electrolyte being essentially impervious to water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A solid polymeric electrolyte comprising a three-phase structure including a porous, woven or unwoven, substantially inert, fiber substrate, a film, impregnating said substrate, comprising fine particles of an ion exchange resin and a water insoluble matrix of an organic binder essentially permanently binding said particles to said fiber substrate and to each other, said binder having been precipitated onto said substrate from a mixture of binder, an organic solvent therefor and resin particles in suspension, by contact with a diluent characterized by a high degree of miscibility with said organic solvent and a relatively low degree of compatibility with said binder, forming an essentially continuous film of ion exchange resin and binder on said fiber substrate and in the interstices thereof capable of receiving a deposit thereon in the form of a cake of particulate solids, said solid polymeric electrolyte being essentially impervious to water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The solid polymeric electrolyte of claim 1 wherein the ion exchange resin is a cation exchange resin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The solid polymeric electrolyte of claim 1 wherein the ion exchange resin is a cross-linked sulfonated polystyrene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The solid polymeric electrolyte of claim 1 wherein the ion exchange resin is a cross-linked sulfonated polyphenylene sulfide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
The solid polymeric electrolyte of claims 1, 2, 3 or 4 wherein the ion exchange resin particles are -325 mesh in size and the fiber substrate is composed of a copolymer of vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile, of polypropylene or of glass fibers.
