Abstract
The process of converting plastic from the form provided by the material suppliers into plastic film looks simple, but there are several complex phenomena that influence the final product. By manipulating several key polymer properties, different types of film can be produced. This can be done by using different processing equipment, as well as varying the processing parameters. All of these elements are used to change polymer film properties.
