Abstract

This invention relates to a heat sensitive polymer film and to a method for making the same. The film becomes substantially impermeable to air or ion flow above a predetermined temperature and is useful as a separator in electrochemical cells. The film comprises a microporous layer coated on at least one side with a layer of heat-fusible polymer particles.
