AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing dry films used in battery and fabric applications suffer from 'splittiness', leading to cracks or breaks that compromise safety and functionality.
Method used
A membrane comprising a dry porous layer formed by reacting a polyolefin with compounds having epoxy and carboxyl groups, which can be monolayer, dilayer, trilayer, or multilayer, and is produced through extrusion, stretching, and heat application to initiate a crosslinking reaction.
Benefits of technology
The membrane exhibits improved strength and reduced tearability, enhancing safety and barrier function in battery separators and fabric applications by minimizing cracks and breaks.

Abstract
Disclosed is a membrane having one or more dry porous layers comprising (1) a polyolefin and (2) a product formed by reacting two components, which may be a compound having one or more carboxy groups and a compound having one or more epoxy groups. The product may be a reactive network, a three-dimensional reactive network, or a crosslinked network. The resulting membrane has improved strength, reduced tearing, or both improved strength and reduced tearing. The membrane may be used in batteries, capacitors, HVAC, filter devices, or textiles. A method for making the membrane is also disclosed.
