The invention provides a modified membrane fabric and a preparation method and application of the modified membrane fabric. The surface of the modified membrane fabric is coated with a polymer or polymer dispersion, and the polymer in the polymer or polymer dispersion may be polysaccharide, polypeptide and protein, may be an artificial polymerized polymer or may be a modified natural high polymer material or a mixture thereof, including but not limited to one or more selected from the group consisting of gelatins (such as gelatin and gelatin hydrolysate), cellulose ethers (e.g., carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose), modified starches (e.g., pullulan and hydroxypropyl starch), PVP, PVA, hyaluronic acids, albumin, chitosan, dextran, Arabic gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, pectin, konjac gum, agar, Carbomer, carrageenin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, polyacrylate and polyacrylic acid and its derivatives. When the modified membrane fabric comes across water in use, the polymer on the surface of the modified membrane fabric can bond with water molecules to form a water retention system which has better retention performance compared with pure water and enables an evaporation speed to be slower and retention performance on the skin to be better.
