Latest Patents

Takamori’s listed patents address separator performance and manufacturing inspection.

“Separator for Power Storage Device, and Power Storage Device Including Same” describes a separator designed to provide strong adhesion to an electrode while limiting thermal shrinkage. It includes a polyolefin microporous-film base material and a coating layer containing an inorganic filler and particulate polymer. The polymer protrudes from the coating layer by at least 0.1 times the layer’s thickness.

“Method for Manufacturing Separator for Electrical Storage Device” concerns inspecting a separator that has a thermoplastic polymer layer on part or all of one or both substrate surfaces. The described inspection method uses a camera and a light source that illuminates the inspection area at an incident angle of 60° to 90°.
