What are different ways of transferring the flexible nanofiber film on the flexible polymer substrate effectively, such that good adhesion between film and substrate is established?
Dear Saket,
I am not sure if I understood your problem, but I would say that if you are seeking a good adhesion between a fiber and a polymer substrate, a good option may be the functionalization of the fiber. For example, by attaching functional groups to it, which are able to chemically bond to other functional groups of the polymer. For example: the fiber glass can be modified by employing trimethoxysilane-based amines. This results in a fiber with amino groups. If this amino groups can be chemically bonded to your polymer, the adhesion of the fiber in the polymeric amtrix would be enhanced.
Best of luck!
Hi
If your goal is a permanent connection, it is recommended to use crosslinker materials (depending on the type of substrate and fibers).
In the following articles, you can find examples of the types of crosslinkers used.

Dear Saket Phadkule,
If you need a strong adhesion between filler and matrix substrate, I recommend functionalizing the filler to make a chemical bond to other functional groups of the matrix.
Goodluck
