The invention discloses a
chitosan-based membrane as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of packaging materials. The
chitosan-based film has a double-layer structure consisting of an inner layer and an outer layer, the outer layer is a water-blocking antibacterial layer formed by a silver complex, and the inner layer is an antibacterial
antioxidant layer formed by
polyphenol; the silver complex is a complex which is formed by the reaction of
pyrrole-2-
formaldehyde-g-
chitosan and
silver acetate; the
polyphenol is formed by
grafting 3, 4-dihydroxy
methyl phenylacetate on the chitosan. The silver complex water-blocking antibacterial layer is constructed on the outer layer, and the
polyphenol antibacterial anti-oxidation layer is constructed on the inner layer, so that the double fresh-keeping mechanism of external protection and internal maintenance is realized, and the comprehensive performance and application potential of the material are remarkably improved.
