Abstract :
The introduction of nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries has been accompanied by a shift from nylon separators to surface modified polyolefin separators. This document reviews the various surface modification techniques and their impact on battery performance. Surface modification techniques discussed are grafting, plasma treatment, sulfonation and fluorination
