This document presents a comprehensive overview of innovative polymer film technologies, focusing on different anchoring techniques such as parallel, perpendicular, radial, and bipolar configurations. It examines the processes involved in the fabrication of films, including sonication, etching, and deposition on substrates like PET. Through a series of figures, we illustrate the behavior of polymer solutions and films under strain and their potential applications in advanced optics and materials science. The findings contribute to the understanding of film properties under various conditions.
