Advancements in Stronger Polymer Films
Advancements in Stronger Polymer Films
Flexible Polymer Film for Phone displays and solar panels
New methods of making flexible polymer films may help to improve things such as phone displays and solar panels. Scientists from the University of California, Davis, have been testing how to use different methods to make previously soluble polymers into insoluble ones. This results in a more durable film and improves the energy efficiency of the entire process. If this methodology becomes widespread, it could result in stronger smartphone displays and lowered manufacturing costs.

Polymer Film Could Help Fight Opioid Epidemic
Polymer film helps fight opioid epidemic with degradable elements
A new type of polymer film developed by researchers at the University of Akron in Ohio could have some key medical applications in the near future. This new polymer film can be implanted into patients who have had surgery on body parts including knees and hips. The polymer film has a non-opiate pain reliever, which would be absorbed by the recipient’s body over the course of several days. As for the film itself, it safely degrades inside of the body over the next few weeks, leaving no unsafe remnants. Such a film would help fight against the opioid epidemic, as the painkiller on the film would act as a substitute to a prescription of an opioid-based painkiller.

UN Young Champion of the Earth Winner Innovating Film in Agriculture
Environmentally friendly and recyclable film has been invented in the irrigation market
Every year, the United Nations Environment Assembly looks around the world for the best new environmental ideas, and this year, Europe’s winner is focused on polymer film. 25-year-old Adam Dixon’s Phytoponics technology improves the efficiency of irrigation by using recyclable polymer film to contain crops and water. The technology also needs less land than traditional farming, which helps to save space. Dixon’s company is already a million-dollar business, and winning the Young Champion of the Earth prize will provide him additional funding and career training that will help to expand his film technology.
