Abstract

Abstract Controlledly microporous shaped articles adopted for use, e.g., as electrodes and diaphragms, are produced by consolidating a fibrous matrix with a latex binder material, notably by deposition onto a rigid perforate substrate, the lattice network of said binder material comprising a silica-based derivative, e.g., a precipitated or pyrogenic silica.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 66 words
A process for the production of a microporous shaped article, which comprises consolidating a fibrous matrix with a latex binder material comprising fluoropolymer particulates, and a silica-based derivative comprising precipitated or pyrogenic silica having a BET specific surface area from 100 m 2 /g to 300 m 2 /g and a particle size from 1 to 50 micrometers for developing the lattice of said latex binder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 66 words
A process for the production of a microporous shaped article, which comprises consolidating a fibrous matrix with a latex binder material comprising fluoropolymer particulates, and a silica-based derivative comprising precipitated or pyrogenic silica having a BET specific surface area from 100 m 2 /g to 300 m 2 /g and a particle size from 1 to 50 micrometers for developing the lattice of said latex binder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process as defined by claim 1, the silica having a particle size of from 1 to 15 micrometers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
The process as defined by claim 1, said latex binder comprising from 30 to 70% of fluoropolymer solid particulates, the particle size distribution of which ranges from 0.1 to 5 micrometers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
The process as defined by claim 1, said fibrous matrix comprising electrically conductive fibers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
The process as defined by claim 1, said fibrous matrix comprising electrically nonconductive fibers.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
The process as defined by claim 4, said electrically conductive fibers comprising monodisperse carbon fibers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 23 words
The process as defined by claim 1, comprising developing microporosity in said consolidated shaped article by digesting the precipitated or pyrogenic silica therefrom.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 28 words
The process as defined by claim 7, wherein said shaped article is consolidated by depositing said fibrous matrix and latex binder material therefor onto a rigid perforate substrate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process as defined by claiim 8, comprising filtering said fibrous matrix and latex binder material through said rigid perforate substrate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process as defined by claiim 8, comprising filtering said fibrous matrix and latex binder material through said rigid perforate substrate.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process as defined in claim 1, comprising consolidating said fibrous matrix with an unrecycled latex binder material.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 58 words
A process for the production of a microporous shaped article, which comprises consolidating a matrix of electrically conductive fibers with a latex fluoropolymer binder material and a precipitated or pyrogenic silica having a BET specific surface area of from 100 m 2 /g to 300 m 2 /g and a particle size of from 1 to 50 micrometers.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 58 words
A process for the production of a microporous shaped article, which comprises consolidating a matrix of electrically conductive fibers with a latex fluoropolymer binder material and a precipitated or pyrogenic silica having a BET specific surface area of from 100 m 2 /g to 300 m 2 /g and a particle size of from 1 to 50 micrometers.
