Benefits of technology

[0026]According to the invention, it is possible to obtain a polymer composition and a porous membrane suitable for obtaining a membrane exhibiting favorable fractionation performance and high water permeability by using a polymer easily obtained by a usual radical polymerization.
[0027]In addition, the polymer composition and the porous membrane of the invention exhibit the above performance, and thus the application thereof is not limited to the water treatment field but they are suitable for a support of an electrolyte solution, in particular, for a support that is swollen with a lithium ion electrolyte solution in a lithium ion battery.MODE(S) FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0029]A membrane forming polymer (A) may be contained in the polymer composition according to the first aspect of the invention and is one of the constituents of the porous membrane according to the second aspect of the invention.
[0030]The membrane forming polymer (A) is used for maintaining the structure of the polymer composition and the porous membrane of the invention, and the composition of the membrane forming polymer (A) can be selected according to the properties required to the polymer composition and the porous membrane.
[0031]In a case in which chemical resistance, oxidative deterioration resistance, and heat resistance are required, examples of the membrane forming polymer (A) may include a fluorine-containing polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), PVDF-co-hexafluoropropylene (HFP), ethylene-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), polyvinyl fluoride, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, a polystyrene derivative, a polyamide, a polyurethane, a polycarbonate, a polysulfone, a polyethersulfone, and cellulose acetate. Among these, a fluorine-containing polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), PVDF-co-hexafluoropropylene (HFP), ethylene-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), polyvinyl fluoride, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is preferred from the viewpoint of chemical resistance and oxidative deterioration resistance of the polymer composition and the porous membrane. Among these, PVDF is preferred from the viewpoint of oxidative deterioration resistance and mechanical durability of the polymer composition and the porous membrane.
[0032]The membrane forming polymer (A) can be used singly or in combination of two or more kinds thereof.

Problems solved by technology

However, the porous membrane described in Patent Document 1 has a bubble point diameter of about from 122 to 198 nm and thus the fractionation performance thereof cannot be said to be sufficient for an ultrafiltration application.
In addition, the block copolymer used in Patent Document 1 is produced by a controlled radical polymerization method such as nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP), thus the monomer is required to be removed after the polymerization, and as a result, the porous membrane cannot be said to be cost-effective.
