Abstract

A high-temperature high-linear-pressure micro-eutectic method for enhancing a strength of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based membrane is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: pushing a PTFE-based nano functional composite membrane forwards at a speed of 6-8 m/min in a high-temperature high-linear-pressure micro-eutectic cavity with a length of 1.5 m at a temperature of 380° C., controlling a linear pressure of a surface of the PTFE-based membrane to be 50-80 N/m, and under a coiling traction of a membrane coiling roller outside the cavity, enabling membrane molecular chains to shrink and generate eutectic phases, wherein multiple micro-eutectic molecular structures are arranged in parallel, and the PTFE-based nano functional composite membrane has a density of 2.1 kg/m3 and has nanoscale macromolecular aggregates and a nano-scale and micron-scale concave-convex geometrical ultra-micro-structure morphology with a surface average size of 10-20 μm, a height of 5-10 μm and a spacing of 10-20 km.
