Abstract

This invention relates to porous films having pores with polygonal cross sections and average pore diameters of about 3 to about 100 microns and the method for preparing these films. More particularly this invention relates to a porous film having pores with polygonal cross sections and average pore diameters of about 3 to about 100 microns formed from a resinous polymer of propylene and the process for forming the film which comprises the steps of (a) forming a film containing beta-spherulites and (b) selectively extracting the beta-spherulites.
