Figure 4. Line loads of graphite and graphite-silicon anodes prepared with CMC/SBR or PEO/SBR binder system as a function of specific volume of adsorbed polymeric thickener (CMC or PEO). The adsorbed polymer amount refers to the data obtained from the adsorption measurements conducted with particles dispersed in a dilute polymer solution [Figure 2]. Error bars represent the standard deviation calculated from measurements with at least ten electrode samples. SBR: Styrene-butadiene rubber; CMC: carboxymethylcellulose; PEO: polyethylene oxide.
