A method of fabricating aqueous slurry for uniform coating on hydrophobic separator and a functional separator fabricated thereby

Abstract

A composition of aqueous slurry capable of exerting uniform coating on a hydrophobic separator for a secondary battery is disclosed. Unlike other aqueous polymers, a polyvinyl alcohol-based polymer can be physically and chemically bound to a surface of a hydrophobic separator made of polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like. Therefore, when the aqueous slurry including the polyvinyl alcohol-based polymer is fabricated and a hydrophobic separator is coated with the aqueous slurry, the hydrophobic separator may be smoothly coated with the aqueous slurry.
