Functional Film
Functional film is a film or a sheet applied on a substrate to provide a more improved functionality in order to increase the overall potential of the product. In addition to having the dimensional benefits, the functional films are compatible with the current modern technologies and varied types of materials. They have other additional properties, such as they require less energy in their processing and they can be fabricated to complex structures according to the requirement. Functional films can be conductive, adhesive, optical, and water soluble.
