1. Enhanced PET Formulations: Developing PET resins with improved thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.
2. Bio-Based PET: Exploring sustainable alternatives using bio-based or recycled PET materials.
3. Hybrid Films: Combining PET with other polymers (e.g., PEN, PI) to achieve superior properties.
1. Advanced Release Coatings: Developing silicone, fluoropolymer, or non-silicone coatings with tailored release properties.
2. Low-Migration Coatings: Ensuring minimal transfer of coating materials to adhered surfaces.
3. Functional Coatings: Adding anti-static, UV-resistant, or anti-fog properties to the film.
1. High-Temperature Resistance: Developing films that can withstand extreme temperatures (e.g., >200°C) for use in composites or electronics.
2. Dimensional Stability: Reducing shrinkage or expansion under varying temperature and humidity conditions.
3. Chemical Resistance: Improving resistance to solvents, acids, and bases for harsh environments.
1. Recyclable Films: Designing PET release films that are easier to recycle or reuse.
2. Biodegradable Options: Exploring biodegradable coatings or additives to reduce environmental impact.
3. Waste Reduction: Developing manufacturing processes that minimize material waste and energy consumption.
