(WO9844576-A1)      A method of producing a moulding, preferably a foil, comprises: (1) compounding and melt extruding a mixture containing a 1-100 wt.% blend. This blend is (a) 1-95 wt.% pigment with a primary particle size of between 5 nm and 20 m, selected from electrochemically inert solids, compounds capable of being charged by yielding lithium ions (Li+), compounds capable of being charged by taking up Li+ and a mixture of the solids and either compound, (b) 5-99 wt.% polymeric binder and (c) 1-200 wt.% plasticiser. The binder is a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride with 8-25 wt.% hexafluoropropylene, and the plasticiser is dibutyl phthalate, di(m)ethyl phthalate, tris(butoxyethyl) phosphate, propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate and/or trimethyl trimellitate are excluded.    Also claimed are (i) a method of producing a composite; (ii) the mouldings and composites produced; (iii) separators, solid electrolytes, electrodes, sensors, electrochromic windows, displays, capacitors or ion-conducting foils consisting of a moulding or composite of this type; and (iv) electrochemical cells with a separator, solid electrolyte and/or electrode of this type.    USE -   The mouldings or composites are used for making separators, solid electrolytes, electrodes, sensors, electrochromic windows, displays, capacitors or ion-conducting foils; and the electrochemical cells are used as batteries for cars or equipment or as flat batteries (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE -   The method gives mouldings with a special micro-structure which results in good compression strength and thermal conductivity. They also have a good resistance to short circuits.
