Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Scheider für elektrische Batterien aus filmbildendem thermoplastischem Material, das als Film entweder an sich halb durchlässig ist oder aber diese Eigenschaft durch Beigabe eines Ionenaustauschers erhält. Die Beigabe eines Ionenaustauschers ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden.The invention relates to separators for electric batteries made of film-forming thermoplastic material, which as a film is either semi-permeable in itself or this property through the addition of a Ion exchanger receives. The addition of an ion exchanger has already been proposed.

Es ist ferner bereits vorgeschlagen worden, thermoplastische Materialien zu bestrahlen und damit ihre Eigenschaften zu verändern. Die bisher berichteten Resultate sind nicht einheitlich; in einigen Fällen sollen Zersetzungen des Materials beobachtet worden sein, jedoch im allgemeinen wurde die Erhöhung der mechanischen Festigkeit, Verbesserung der chemischen Widerstandsfähigkeit und deren Wärmebeständigkeit durch die Bestrahlung festgestellt. Beispielsweise kann Polyäthylen durch Beschießung mit Elektronen vom thermoplastischen in den wärmehärtbaren Zustand übergeführt werden.It has also already been proposed to irradiate thermoplastic materials and thus their To change properties. The results reported so far are not uniform; in some cases Decomposition of the material is said to have been observed, but in general the increase in mechanical strength, improvement of chemical resistance and its heat resistance detected by the irradiation. For example, polyethylene can be made by bombarding it with electrons be converted from the thermoplastic to the thermosetting state.

Es ist schließlich bereits versucht worden, die Leistung und Gebrauchsdauer von Akkumulatoren durch Beimischung von radioaktiven Stoffen zum Elektrolyten, zu den Elektroden oder zu Scheidewänden zwischen den Elektroden zu verbessern. Falls die Scheidewände den radioaktiven Zusatz erhalten, bestehen sie aus einem vom Elektrolyten nicht angreifbaren Material und enthalten den im Elektrolyten unlöslichen radioaktiven Stoff, z. B. Radiumsalz, gleichmäßig im Innern verteilt oder als Überzug.After all, attempts have already been made to improve the performance and service life of accumulators Admixture of radioactive substances to the electrolyte, to the electrodes or to partition walls to improve between the electrodes. If the partitions contain the radioactive additive, insist they are made of a material that cannot be attacked by the electrolyte and contain that in the electrolyte insoluble radioactive material, e.g. B. radium salt, evenly distributed inside or as a coating.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß es möglich ist, die Bestrahlung eines thermoplastischen Scheidermaterials durch langsame Neutronen, Betastrahlen, Gammastrahlen, Röntgenstrahlen od. dgl. so zu dosieren, daß (vermutlich durch Schaffung zusätzlicher Querverbindungen zwischen den Polymerketten) nicht nur die mechanische Festigkeit des Materials, sondern auch dessen chemische Widerstandsfähigkeit, z. B. gegen Oxydierung durch eine daran anliegende Silberoxydelektrode, wesentlich erhöht wird, ohne daß dabei der elektrische Widerstand des Materials im Elektrolyten übermäßig gesteigert wird. Wichtig ist dabei auch, daß der Scheider seinen thermoplastischen Charakter behält, da eine etwaige Verhärtung bei der sich im Betrieb entwickelnden Hitze zu Verzerrungen und sich daraus ergebenden Störungen führen könnte.The invention is based on the knowledge that it is possible to irradiate a thermoplastic Separator material by slow neutrons, beta rays, gamma rays, X-rays or the like. So to dose that (presumably by creating additional cross connections between the polymer chains) not only the mechanical strength of the material, but also its chemical resistance, z. B. against oxidation by an adjacent silver oxide electrode, is significantly increased without that the electrical resistance of the material in the electrolyte is excessively increased. Important It is also important that the separator retains its thermoplastic character because of any hardening with the heat that develops during operation, it leads to distortions and the resulting malfunctions could lead.

Erfindungsgemäß ist daher der Scheider aus bestrahlten Folien oder Schichten filmbildender Kunststoffe hergestellt.According to the invention, the separator is therefore made from irradiated Films or layers of film-forming plastics produced.

Die filmbildenden Kunststoffe können celluloseartigen Charakter haben und beispielsweise aus regenerierter Cellulose (Cellulosehydrat) oder Methylcellulose bestehen. Sie können auch aus einem Polyamid oder anderen thermoplastischen Massen bestehen, insbesondere solchen auf der Basis von Vinyl-Scheider für elektrische Akkumulatoren, insbesondere Silber - Zink -AkkumulatorenThe film-forming plastics can have cellulose-like character and, for example, consist of regenerated cellulose (cellulose hydrate) or methyl cellulose. They can also be made from a polyamide or other thermoplastic materials, especially those based on vinyl separators for electrical accumulators, especially silver-zinc accumulators
