Abstract
A separator used for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery comprises a substrate, and a plurality of protruding patterns on at least one principal surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate includes one or more layers, and the value of T1/T2 is 0.3 or more where T1 is the distance between an approximately flat surface formed at the top of the protruding pattern and an approximately flat surface formed at the bottom of the protruding pattern, and T2 is the total thickness of the separator.

A separator for use in a nonaqueous electrolyte battery, wherein
- the separator comprises a laminate structure of a substrate comprising a plurality of layers including a polyolefin microporous membrane layer, and a convex-shaped patterns porous layer having a plurality of convex-shaped patterns, each convex-shaped pattern of the plurality of convex-shaped patterns being independently laminated on at least one main surface of the substrate,
- the value of T1/T2 represented using the distance (T1) between a substantially flat surface formed at the top of the convex-shaped patterns and a substantially flat surface formed at the bottom of the convex-shaped patterns and the total thickness (T2) of the separator is 0.45 or more and less than 1,
- the compressive modulus of the convex-shaped patterns layer is within the range of 1.1×103 MPa to 1.3×103 MPa, and the compressive modulus of the layer having the lowest compressive modulus in the layers constituting the substrate is within the range of 86 MPa to 102 MPa,
- the compressive modulus of the convex-shaped patterns porous layer is higher than the compressive modulus of all of the plurality of layers constituting the substrate,
- the convex-shaped patterns porous layer having the convex-shaped patterns contains inorganic particles or resin fine particles, and a content of the inorganic particles or resin fine particles is 80 weight % or more and 99.99 weight % or less, per 100 weight % of the convex-shaped patterns porous layer,
- S1/S2 represented using a ratio of the air permeability S1 of a portion having the convex-shaped patterns, measured in the vertical direction of the convex-shaped patterns, to the air permeability S2 of a non-pattern part of the separator is 0.8 or more and 5 or less, and
- the air permeability S1 is 255 seconds/100 ml or less.
