Composite film structures for packaging use. The composite film structures have easy open, clean peel and hermetic seal characteristics stemming from good caulkability characteristics when a region of the composite film structures are folded over and sealed to form a seal on a bag, pouch or package. The composite film structure includes a base film which includes a biaxially-oriented film and a vacuum-deposited metal layer and a heat-sealant structure comprising a low density polyethylene and a linear low density polyethylene. The metal layer is between the biaxially-oriented film and the heat-sealant structure. The heat-sealant structure thickness is from about 50 to about 100 gauge, the adhesion strength between the biaxially-oriented film and the metal layer is less than about 800 g/in, and the seal strength when a region of the composite film structure is folded onto a composite film structure region is from about 500 to about 1500 g/in.

Provided is a preparation method for a double-layer working medium target tape with a plasma-enhanced interfacial bonding force for a micro laser thruster. Aiming at the problem that in an existing micro laser thruster, when a working medium is ablated by a laser beam, due to a weak interlayer interfacial bonding force between a transparent film substrate and the coating working medium, sputtering or bulging occurs, which remarkably reduces propulsive performance, a method for treating a surface of a transparent film substrate with a low-temperature plasma is used to increase surface energy of a film and an adhesive force of a working medium layer on a surface of the film, thereby enhancing the interlayer interfacial bonding force. According to the method in the present disclosure, the transparent film substrate is treated with the low-temperature plasma.

The present disclosure provides a three-dimensionally arranged nanoparticle film and a preparation method and use thereof, and belongs to the technical field of nanophotonics. The preparation method includes the following steps: coating nanoparticles with hydrophobic molecules, and dispersing in an organic solvent to obtain a modified nanoparticle dispersion; conducting a surface treatment on a three-dimensional template to obtain a hydrophilic three-dimensional template; and adding water to a surface of the hydrophilic three-dimensional template to form a water film, adding the modified nanoparticle dispersion dropwise on a surface of the water film to conduct self-assembly, and removing the water film to obtain a three-dimensionally arranged nanoparticle film with an array structure. In the present disclosure, the nanoparticle film prepared by a self-assembly and template-assisted method can generate vertical and parallel multiple-surface lattice resonances, thereby effectively suppressing radiation loss and enhancing an interaction between light and matters at a nanometer scale.
