Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POROUS FILM AND POROUS FILM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/043666
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A process for producing a porous film, comprising casting a polymer solution over a substrate so as to form a film and converting the film to a porous film according to the phase conversion technique, wherein the polymer and the substrate are selected so that the difference (Sa-Sb) between surface tension of polymer constituting the porous film, Sa [mN/m], and surface tension of the substrate, Sb [mN/m], is -10 or greater. In this process, there can be obtained a porous film exhibiting a high open pore ratio at the film surfaces and having uniform micropores from the surfaces through the internal part of the film. The obtained porous film is one having a multiplicity of mutually communicating micropores characterized in that the porous film has a thickness of 5 to 200 μm and with respect to both major surfaces of the porous film, exhibits a surface average pore diameter of 0.01 to 10 μm, a ratio (A/B) of surface average pore diameter (A) to internal part average pore diameter (B) of 0.3 to 3 and a ratio (C/D) of surface average open pore ratio (C) to internal part average open pore ratio (D) of 0.7 to 1.5.
