TRIZ, or "theory of inventive problem solving," is the next evolutionary step in creating an organized and systematic approach to problem-solving. The principle of flexible film or thin membranes can be applied in a number of ways to separate, isolate and protect. For example, cling film is a thin membrane that is used to wrap food. It can be bought in a roll, but it can also be created in situ (paint is just such a useful thin film). In addition to its low cost and flexibility, this membrane is also space-efficient, making it an ideal solution for a variety of problems.
