A binder for a nonaqueous battery electrode, the nonaqueous battery electrode using the binder for the nonaqueous battery electrode, and a nonaqueous battery. The binder for a nonaqueous battery electrode contains a copolymer (P) of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer (A) essentially containing a styrene-based monomer (a1) and a (meth)acrylate ester (a2), and a surfactant (B1) having an ethylenically unsaturated bond, wherein the total amount of structure units derived from the surfactant (B1) having the ethylenically unsaturated bond in the copolymer (P) and the surfactant (B2) not contained in the copolymer (P) is 0.10 to 1.00 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the copolymer (P). Also disclosed is a method for producing the binder.

An aqueous binder composition for a secondary battery electrode containing a silane coupling agent without ethylenically unsaturated bonds, a resin which is a polymer of at least one kind of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, a resin which is a polymer of at least one kind of ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and at least one kind of solvent selected from water and a hydrophilic solvent. The amount of silane coupling agent is from 0.5 to 9 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The pH of the composition is 2.5 to 8.0. Also disclosed is a binder obtained by curing the aqueous binder composition, a slurry containing the aqueous binder composition and an active material, a secondary battery electrode obtained by curing the slurry, and a secondary battery including the secondary battery electrode.

A binder composition for nonaqueous battery electrodes essentially contains (A) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and (B) a surfactant, and further satisfies any two or more conditions of the following (I) to (III): (I) (A) the ethylenically unsaturated monomer includes (a) a phosphoric acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer; (II) (B) the surfactant comprises (b) a phosphoric acid group-containing surfactant; and (III) the composition including (C) a neutralizing agent containing an alkali metal compound and/or an alkali earth metal compound.

A binder composition for nonaqueous battery electrodes is prepared by adding a small amount of an acetylene glycol compound to an aqueous polymer emulsion obtained by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising from 15 to 70% by mass of styrene (a), from 20 to 80% by mass of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylate (b), from 1 to 10% by mass of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid (c), from 0.1 to 5% by mass of a crosslinkable ethylenically unsaturated monomer (d), and from 0 to 20% by mass of another monoethylenically unsaturated monomer (e). When the above binder composition is used, an active material is not peeled off in the step of cutting a collector even when a small amount of the binder is used, and a nonaqueous battery excellent in a charge-discharge cycle property can be produced.
