Polyvinylidene fluoride porous membrane and a method for producing the same

摘要

A porous membrane comprising a polyvinylidene fluoride resin and having a uniform, three-dimensional, network pore structure. The membrane has excellent chemical resistance, excellent filtering characteristics and excellent mechanical properties. The porous membrane can be produced by blending a polyvinylidene fluoride resin, an organic liquid and a powdery hydrophobic silica, subjecting the resultant blend to melt-molding to form a membrane, and extracting the organic liquid and the hydrophobic silica from the melt-molded membrane.
