Abstract
Disclosed herein provides the porous polyolefin composites, which comprise the polyolefin polymer as the matrix and embedded fillers with high aspect ratio as the reinforcing element and are mainly featured by the enhanced mechanical properties in biaxial direction. These said composites can be used as filtering semi-permeable membranes in filtration/purification of air, water or other liquids, or can be used as separators in energy industries.
Claims27
A porous composite material, comprising:
- a polymeric matrix formed from one or more polyolefins;
- and
- one or more high aspect ratio filler materials, wherein
- the porous composite material has pores having a diameter of from 0.01 to 2 μm;
- and
- the one or more high aspect ratio filler materials are present in an amount of from 0.05 to 30 wt % of the total weight of the porous composite material.
