Abstract

One aspect of the present invention relates to a separator comprising a porous film having: a hydrophobic region including polyolefin; and a hydrophilic region including a hydrophilic polymer dispersed in the hydrophobic region, and provides a separator and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein when derived by a method comprising the steps of: laminating 30 or more sheets of the porous films to form a laminate; dropwise adding 2 μL of propylene carbonate onto one surface of the laminate and allowing the laminate to stand for 5 minutes; peeling the porous films one by one from the other surface of the laminate while checking the wetting state of propylene carbonate; and determining the number (X) of porous films in the laminate for which the wetting state of propylene carbonate is confirmed, X is 20 or more.
