POLYPHENOL-MODIFIED POLYMERIC MEMBRANE, PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND METALLIZED POLYMERIC MEMBRANE
20250381529 · 2025-12-18 ·

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of film material, and particularly to a polymeric polyphenol-modified polymer film, a preparation method thereof and a metallized polymer film. According to the present disclosure, corona treatment is performed to a surface of a polymer layer, so that a polar modifying liquid can uniformly coat the surface of the polymer layer, thereby forming a modification layer tightly combined with the polymer layer. Thus, the low-polarity polymer layer surface can be imparted with a durable high polarity. Consequently, the polymer layer is capable of being stably and tightly bonded to a material layer with high polarity and high surface tension, such as a metal layer, for a long period of time, effectively broadening the application scenarios for non-polar polymer substrate layers. By controlling the concentrations of the polyphenolic compound and the cross-linking agent in the modifying liquid, the modification layer formed by a cross-linking reaction can have a suitable cross-linking density and an adequate number of hydroxyl groups, thereby further effectively and stably enhancing the long-term polarity and surface tension of the polymer layer. The preparation method is simple and easy to operate, cost-effective, efficient, and easy to scale up.
