An adhesive layer disposed between a separator for a secondary battery and an electrode for a secondary battery, wherein the adhesive layer is obtained by bonding under pressure a layer containing a resin having a structural unit derived from an -olefin having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and an occupancy area of the resin in the adhesive layer is 10 to 80%.

This invention provides a polysulfone with a formula (I) as below:

##STR00001## wherein, R.sub.2 independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic ring; X is a linking group having both an ester group and a hydroxyl group; R.sub.3 is an aliphatic linking group with more than 3 carbons or an aromatic linking group with at least two aromatic rings, and at least two of the aromatic rings are joined by an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a isopropylidene group or a hexafluoroisopropylidene group; and R is an terminal group with an epoxy group.

A method for preparing a bifunctional film, including: (a) drying a first polymer solution to form a film to form an anti-adhesion layer, and (b) drying a second polymer solution over the anti-adhesion layer to form a film to form an attachment layer. The first polymer solution includes a first hydrophobic solution and a first hydrophilic solution, and in the first polymer solution, the weight ratio of the solute of the first hydrophobic solution to the solute of the first hydrophilic solution is 1:0.01-1. Moreover, the second polymer solution is composed of a second hydrophilic solution.

A method for forming a protective film on a foam cushion including steps of preparing the cushion, applying a hot-melt adhesive, hot pressing a resin film, and cutting. Therein, the cushion is applied with a hot-melt adhesive layer, and a heated metal roller is used to press the resin film onto the hot-melt adhesive layer. The melting point of the resin film is greater than that of the hot-melt adhesive layer, and the heating temperature of the metal roller is between the melting point of the resin film and the melting point of the hot-melt adhesive layer, so that while the resin film is pressed on the hot-melt adhesive layer by the metal roller, the resin film is stuck by the hot-melt adhesive layer, thereby forming a protective film on the outer surface. The method features quick resin film and reliable film affixation.

Electrochemical cells, and more specifically, release systems for the fabrication of electrochemical cells are described. In particular, release layer arrangements, assemblies, methods and compositions that facilitate the fabrication of electrochemical cell components, such as electrodes, are presented. In some embodiments, methods of fabricating an electrode involve the use of a release layer to separate portions of the electrode from a carrier substrate on which the electrode was fabricated. For example, an intermediate electrode assembly may include, in sequence, an electroactive material layer, a current collector layer, a release layer, and a carrier substrate. The carrier substrate can facilitate handling of the electrode during fabrication and/or assembly, but may be released from the electrode prior to commercial use.
