Abstract
A battery separator and a method for manufacturing the same and a battery using the same. The battery separator is excellent in alkaline retaining property, initial alkaline absorption and durable alkaline absorption while maintaining tensile strength and air permeability, by forming functional groups or bonds of --CHO or --C.sup.+ H--O.sup.-, --CO--, and --COO-- or --COO.sup.- on the surface of the non-woven fabric. The battery shows great wettability with an alkaline electrolyte when incorporated into an battery, and thus, improves the battery life. The battery separator is provided by mixing and wet laid processing 15-75 weight % of splittable conjugated staple fibers comprising polyolefin polymer (component A) and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (component B) arranged adjacent to each other when viewed in fiber cross section, 20-60 weight % of thermal bonding staple fibers, and 0-50 weight % of synthetic fibers that have greater fineness than that of ultra fine fibers formed by splitting the splittable bi-component fibers and have the same or smaller fineness than that of the thermal bonding fibers; treating the wet laid type non-woven fabric with high-pressure water flow to s…
