PI Advanced Materials, an Arkema Affiliate, has received the 2026 KPCA Industry award for contributions to the world’s first mass-production for 4µm ultra-thin polyimide film using an unstretched process. The 4µm polyimide film achieved comparable mechanical, thermal and adhesion performance at approximately one-third the thickness of conventional 12.5µm polyimide film.

As materials become thinner – now reaching a thickness of single atoms – it has become ever more difficult to create large enough sheets of these materials and transfer them without cracking them into tiny flakes. Recent work by a broad Amsterdam-based team of scientists, published in the journal ACS Nano, presents a new technique…
