Influence of the Inclusion of Propylene Carbonate Electrolyte Solvent on the Microstructure and Thermal and Mechanical Stability of Poly(l-lactic acid) and Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) Battery Separator Membranes
Abstract:The influence of the inclusion of the organic solvent propylene carbonate (PC) in microporous membranes based on poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-cohexafluoropropylene) P(VDF-HFP) has been studied based on its relevance for the application of those separator membranes in lithium-ion batteries. The membranes have been produced through solvent casting and characterized with respect to the swelling ratio originated by the uptake of the organic solvent. The organic solvent uptake affects the… Show more
