PLM of a polypropylene film for adhesive plasters
Polypropylene film. Polarised light micrograph of a polypropylene (a type of plastic) film. From close up it can be seen that the film is a symmetrical pattern of hollow triangles. This structure is important when the film is used in sticking (adhesive) plasters. The hollow triangles allow air to circulate around the wound, assisting healing. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer, that means that when it is heated, it will become soft and mouldable. This makes it ideal for articles such as films. Magnification: x12 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a polypropylene film used in adhesive plasters. Through polarised light micrography, we are able to observe the symmetrical pattern of hollow triangles that make up this remarkable plastic film. Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that this unique structure plays a crucial role when applied to sticking plasters. The presence of these hollow triangles allows for efficient air circulation around wounds, facilitating the healing process. As a thermoplastic polymer, polypropylene possesses the remarkable property of softening and becoming moldable when exposed to heat. This characteristic makes it an ideal material for various applications such as films. With a magnification level of x12 at 35mm size, this image captures every minute detail and highlights the intricate nature of polypropylene's composition. The photograph serves as a testament to both the scientific advancements in materials research and their practical implications in everyday life. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual representation that not only educates but also sparks curiosity about the wonders found within our world.
