The present invention is directed to a method for treating a surface of a filled microporous membrane. The microporous membrane includes a polyolefinic matrix, inorganic filler distributed throughout the matrix, and a network of interconnecting pores throughout the membrane. The method includes sequentially (1) contacting the membrane with a first treatment composition comprising an epoxy-silane which is in intimate contact with the inorganic filler; (2) subjecting the membrane of (1) to conditions sufficient to effect a first reaction between the inorganic filler and the silane groups of the epoxy-silane compound; (3) contacting the membrane of (2) with a second treatment composition comprising polyalkylene polyamine, an amine functional polysaccharide and/or an amino silane; and (4) subjecting the membrane of (3) to conditions sufficient to effect a second reaction. Treated membranes also are provided.
本发明涉及一种处理填充微孔膜表面的方法。微孔膜包括聚烯烃基体、分布在基体各处的无机填料以及遍布整个膜的相互连接的孔网。该方法包括依次(1)将膜与第一处理组合物接触,该组合物包括与无机填料亲密接触的环氧
硅烷;(2)将(1)的膜置于足以使无机填料和环氧
硅烷化合物的
硅烷基团之间发生第一反应的条件下;(3) 将(2)中的膜与第二种处理组合物接触,该组合物包括聚亚烷基
多胺、胺功能
多糖和/或
氨基
硅烷;以及 (4) 将(3)中的膜置于足以发生第二种反应的条件下。还提供了经过处理的膜。
