Polymer-based films are thin layers made from long-chain molecules called polymers. These films can be produced from various types of polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and are known for their flexibility, durability, and lightweight properties. They are commonly used in packaging, electronics, and medical applications due to their ability to provide barriers against moisture, gases, and contaminants. These films can be engineered to have specific characteristics, such as transparency or resistance to heat and chemicals. Additionally, polymer-based films can be easily processed and customized, making them suitable for a wide range of uses, including food packaging, solar panels, and protective coatings.
