Background
The surface coating technology is a very practical method for improving the surface hydrophilicity of the film material, hydrophilic groups can be fixed on the surface of a commodity polymer film through the coating technology, the anti-pollution performance of the polymer film can be obviously improved, and various properties such as heavy metal adsorption, dye adsorption or antibiosis and the like can be endowed to the polymer film even through introduced functional groups.
By using the existing coating technology, the coating components from various small molecules to polymer macromolecules can be easily coated on the surface of the film by direct spraying, dip coating, spin coating and other methods. However, the existing coating technology has two problems: firstly, coating component diluents are often used in the coating process, and basically all the diluents are organic solvents which are easy to volatilize into the air to cause environmental pollution and harm to human health, and can dissolve polymer film base materials to destroy the body structure of the polymer film; second, the coating components are coated on the surface of the polymer film by a simple coating method to be adsorbed on the surface of the polymer film by secondary physical interaction, and the single coating components are not connected through chemical bonds between molecules and are easy to fall off from the surface of the film. In order to solve the above problems, researchers have carried out membrane modification studies using various water-soluble components, and the most reported methods in literature and patents are to modify polymer membranes with dopamine and its derivatives to impart anti-fouling properties thereto (CN 201310171221.0, CN201610936876.6, CN201610114843.3, CN201610901039.X, CN201710885393.2, CN201610648526.X, CN201510147356.2, CN 201710324332.9). Polydopamine inspired by mussels is a widely focused strategy for membrane modification due to the universality and universality of the polydopamine, and the simple and mild coating process of the polydopamine has excellent adhesion and good secondary reaction activity. When in use, the membrane is immersed in alkaline dopamine solution, so that hydrophilic polydopamine layer can be induced on the surface of the membrane, and polydopamine can be further grafted and introduced into other organic or inorganic materials to carry out multiple modification on the surface of the membrane material due to rich functional groups on the surface of the polydopamine. However, the dopamine raw material is expensive, is unfavorable for mass production and use, and needs to find a cheap substitute. Therefore, researchers further develop cheap similar substitutes for application, and the university of Nanchang Wang Zhenxing and the like are inspired by the easy adsorption of protein by a hydrophobic separation membrane and tanning of leather, develop a method for modifying the surface of the hydrophobic membrane by superhydrophilization based on protein adsorption-tannic acid curing, realize the efficient modification of various hydrophobic materials by polyphenols (Journal of Materials Chemistry A,2018,6,13959), and perform a series of application attempts (Journal of Materials Chemistry A,2018,6,3391,Journal of Membrane Science,2018,564,317), but when tannic acid is used as a coating, the coating reaction needs a long time, and an alcohol solvent is still needed by an application system developed later; zhang Ganwei, et al, from the university of Suzhou science and technology, have used poly (styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA) and Polyethylenimine (PEI) in a simple and quick way to coat a variety of substrate materials, including polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration membranes, cotton, nylon mesh and stainless steel mesh, to improve their oil-water separation properties. The substrate material was coated with PSMA followed by PEI to produce a crosslinked polymer coating, and the entire coating process could be completed within 30 min. The copolymer coating can obviously endow the substrate material with super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic properties and underwater dynamic oil pollution resistance. All coating base materials can be used for separating oil-water mixtures, wherein the coating PVDF micro-filtration membrane has excellent oil-water emulsion separation performance (Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research,2019,58,19475), the coating system can realize rapid crosslinking reaction, a stable hydrophilic polymer coating layer is formed on the surface of a polymer membrane, but a small amount of organic solvent is still required for PSMA used in the process; the water-soluble polymer poly (glycidyl methacrylate-co-poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) P (GMA-co-mPEGMA) is further prepared, and the PVDF micro-filtration membrane is coated with an aqueous solution of P (GMA-co-mPEGMA) and Polyethyleneimine (PEI) by a spraying method so as to ensure the surface hydrophilicity and the pollution resistance of the PVDF micro-filtration membrane. P (GMA-co-mPEGA) and PEI have a plurality of reaction sites consisting of amino groups and epoxy groups, so that the opportunity for crosslinking reaction is greatly increased, and the stability of the coating is improved. As the coating components can use water as a solvent, the pollution to the environment (CN 202011397479.9) is reduced to the greatest extent, but P (GMA-co-mPEGMA) needs to be prepared by an atom transfer radical method and still uses an organic solvent, which is unfavorable for large-scale production and cannot control the green and environment-friendly characteristics of the whole process from the source.
In view of the above, a modified polymer film having a stable coating layer without using an organic solvent and having a simple preparation process has been desired.
