Abstract
A self-supporting multifunctional film is provided based on natural poly-phenols such as tannic acid. The self-supporting film composition of the invention contains a tannic acid derivative in which 12% to 24% of hydroxyl groups in tannic acid are bonded via urethane bonds that are formed by way of reactions with cyanate groups. Preferably, the film composition further includes a precursor polymer and 45 to 65% by mass of tannic acid and 55 to 35% by mass of the precursor polymer. Preferably, the precursor polymer has a second linear hydrocarbon compound urethane-bonded to both ends of a first linear hydrocarbon compound, and more preferably a diisocyanate group having an oligoethyene glycol as a spacer. Preferably, the ratio of the urethane bonds contained in the precursor polymer to the hydroxyl groups contained in the tannic acid is (12:88) to (24:76) inclusive in terms of molar ratio.
