By precisely tailoring the microstructure of PET films, the research team successfully enhanced their barrier properties. Employing advanced nanoimprint lithography, they engineered ordered micro- and nanoscale structures on the film’s surface; these specialized features effectively impede the permeation of gases and moisture. Test results show that the microstructured PET films exhibit oxygen and water vapor barrier performance 40% and 35% higher, respectively, than conventional PET films. This breakthrough is poised to improve the performance of PET films in high-barrier packaging applications for food, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive products.

PET sheets achieve a better balance of transparency and strength.
Through repeated experimentation, researchers have developed an improved formulation for PET sheets. By incorporating a specific proportion of nano‑scale additives into the raw material and employing a unique blending and stirring process, these additives are uniformly dispersed throughout the PET molecular structure. This not only enhances the transparency of the PET sheets, achieving a light transmittance of over 92%—approaching optical‑grade standards—but also boosts their tensile strength, increasing it by 20% compared with conventional PET sheets. This breakthrough offers a new option for high‑end applications such as premium packaging and optical displays, where PET sheet performance requirements are particularly stringent.

Key progress has been made in the self-healing technology of PE protective films.
A research team has successfully developed a self‑healing polyethylene (PE) protective film. When the surface sustains minor damage such as scratches, the film can autonomously reorganize and repair the affected area under specific temperature conditions, thanks to a unique internal chemical molecular mechanism. The researchers incorporated polymers containing dynamic chemical bonds into the film material; upon damage, the broken bonds are re‑formed in response to thermal stimulation, enabling rapid self‑repair. Currently, this technology has completed laboratory validation and is expected to enter industrial production soon, bringing significant benefits to industries—such as electronics and automotive—that require long‑term surface protection.
