1. A separator for alkaline batteries having a composite sheet comprising:
- a continuous polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber layer formed from a polyvinyl alcohol polymer modified with at least one modifying component and having a fiber diameter of 10 to 1000 nm, the nanofiber layer having a liquid absorption amount by fibers of 4.0 to 40.0 g/g after immersion in a 35% aqueous solution of KOH, wherein the at least one modifying component is an unsaturated carboxylic acid, an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative, an unsaturated sulfonic acid, an unsaturated sulfonic acid derivative, a borane acid complex, a borane complex, a borane complex derivative, a vinyl ester, an amine, an acrylamide, a methacrylamide, an allyl alcohol, or vinyl pyrrolidone; and
a base layer joined to the nanofiber layer, the base layer comprising a wet-type nonwoven material made of alkaline resistant fibers and having a density of 0.1 to 0.4 g/cm3, wherein the alkaline resistant fiber is at least one alkaline resistant fiber selected from the group consisting of an alkaline resistant synthetic fiber and an alkaline resistant cellulose fiber;
the alkaline resistant synthetic fiber excluding a polyvinyl alcohol polymer modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid; and
the alkaline resistant cellulose fiber being a fibrillated fiber having a refining degree in a CSF value of 0 to 700 mL.

Abstract
Provided is a separator for alkaline batteries which can not only prevent batteries from internal short circuit by inhibiting the dendrite formation at anode, but also enables to have a low electrical resistance. The separator for alkaline batteries comprises a composite sheet in which a base layer comprising a wet-type nonwoven material formed from alkaline resistant fibers is covered with a nanofiber layer comprising a modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber which has a fiber diameter of 10 to 1000 nm and a liquid absorption amount by fibers of 4.0 to 40.0 g/g after immersion in a 35% aqueous solution of KOH.
