Due to its unique properties such as mechanical flexibility, biodegradability, and responsiveness to external stimuli (e.g., pH, humidity, temperature), pollen films have several potential applications beyond just being a reusable and recyclable printing material. 

Pollen film could be integrated into flexible and biodegradable electronic circuits for soft electronics & wearable devices , serving as a sustainable alternative for transient electronics, flexible batteries, and bio-based sensors. Its ability to respond to environmental changes (e.g., humidity, pH, or temperature) also makes it an excellent candidate for sensors used in health monitoring, environmental tracking, and food packaging applications. The biocompatibility and porosity of pollen paper may also allow it to be suitable for biomedical applications such as in tissue engineering and wound management. The substrate’s ability to undergo shape transformations under humidity variations could be harnessed for bioinspired soft robotic systems and self-folding structures. Furthermore. pollen films could be explored as a functional substrate for microfluidics, bioassays, and other lab-on-a-chip applications, offering a sustainable and responsive alternative to conventional synthetic materials.​​
