Abstract

A surface treatment composition includes, expressed as parts by weight, a first ingredient of 1 to 30 parts and a second ingredient of 1 to 30 parts. The first ingredient is a polycaprolactone modified with an acidic group and/or a salt of the acidic group. The second ingredient is selected from polyether-modified polyolefin acid, polyether-modified polyalkenoate salt, polyether-modified polyalkenoate ester, or a combination thereof.

2. The surface treatment composition according to claim 1 , wherein:

the acidic group and/or the salt of the acidic group is selected from an acidic group, an acidic salt group, or a combination thereof;

the acidic group is selected from a hydroxyl group, a carboxylic acid group, a sulfonic acid group, or phosphoric acid group; and

the acidic salt group is selected from a hydroxylate group, a carboxylate group, a sulfonate group, a phosphonate group, or a combination thereof.

3. The surface treatment composition according to claim 1 , wherein:

in the first ingredient, a weight percent of the acidic group and/or the salt of the acidic group is 10 wt % to 40 wt %; and/or

in the second ingredient, a weight percent of a polyether group is 20 wt % to 50 wt %.

4. The surface treatment composition according to claim 1 , wherein:

a number-average molecular weight of the first ingredient is 50,000 to 150,000; and/or

a number-average molecular weight of the second ingredient is 6,000,000 to 10,000,000.

5. The surface treatment composition according to claim 1 , wherein:

a solubility of the first ingredient in water at 25° C. is at least 40 g/100 ml; and/or

a solubility of the second ingredient in water at 25° C. is at least 40 g/100 ml.

6. The surface treatment composition according to claim 1 , wherein the first ingredient comprises a substance represented by following general formula:

in the general formula:

one or more of R 11 , R 12 , R 21 , R 22 , R 31 , R 32 , R 41 , R 42 , R 51 , or R 52 are the acidic group and/or the salt of the acidic group, and remaining groups are selected from hydrogen, C 1 to C 6 alkyl, C 1 to C 6 haloalkyl, and halogen; and

n 1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

7. The surface treatment composition according to claim 6 , wherein one or more of R 11 , R 12 , R 21 , R 22 , R 31 , R 32 , R 41 , R 42 , R 51 , or R 52 are selected from a carboxylic acid group, a sulfonic acid group, a phosphoric acid group, a carboxylate group, a sulfonate group, or a phosphonate group.

8. The surface treatment composition according to claim 6 , wherein, at least one of R 11 , R 12 , R 21 , R 22 , R 31 , R 32 , R 41 , R 42 , R 51 , or R 52 is —OH, and at least one of R 11 , R 12 , R 21 , R 22 , R 31 , R 32 , R 41 , R 42 , R 51 , or R 52 is —COOH.
