    Abstract: A method for rectifying a polymer film including the steps of: a) providing a first substrate including a front surface, the front surface having a surface energy less than approximately 22 mJ/m2, b) spreading a thermoplastic polymer on the front surface leading to the formation of a polymer film and at least one dewetted zone of the front surface, c) providing a second substrate including a non-stick surface, d) bonding the polymer film and the non-stick surface leading to the formation of a bonding interface having an adhesion energy lower than the adhesion energy between the polymer film and the front surface, e) applying a creep treatment so that the at least one dewetted zone of the front surface is covered by creep of the polymer film, and f) disassembly at the bonding interface so as to obtain the front surface completely covered by the rectified polymer film.
