Herein, interface engineering was employed to fabricate sandwich-structured composite papers via an impregnation strategy by combining poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with etched meta-aramid paper. During this process, PMMA not only infiltrates the internal pores but also forms encapsulating surface layers on both sides of meta-aramid paper, establishing a dense, robust architecture. Driven by the synergistic effects of multiple interfacial structures and hydrogen bonds between PMMA and meta-aramid paper, the resulting composite papers exhibit significantly enhanced tensile strength across a wide temperature range. Notably, the breakdown strength of PMMA/meta-aramid/PMMA composite paper reaches 57.1 MV/m at room temperature (RT) and remains at 46.9 MV/m at 100°C, representing remarkable 2.1- and 1.8-fold improvements compared to pristine meta-aramid paper.
