I need to prepare a film of about 1 mm thick from Polyethylene Oxide power with MW of 300,000. Could anyone suggest a simple method to get this fabricated. In the near future, I will need to gradually reduce the thickness for a ionic conductivity testing. Thank You

Are you talking about plastic thin film ? I think that you can use extrusion or blow molding. With extrusion you can easily change the sheets thickness.
