Drop onto concrete smartphone can be fatal to his screen. This will help avoid new development of American Scientists, which will give future mobile devices shatterproof screens.
Researchers from the University of Akron created a transparent layer of the electrodes on the polymer surface, which will make the screens of mobile devices more flexibility and strength. Modern smartphones are using screens coated with indium tin oxide, which is sufficiently brittle material. In addition, indium tin oxide is more susceptible to fracture risk of a stroke, and its price is constantly growing.
As the resource Phonearena, material tested in the walls of the University of Akron, has shown the ability to retain its shape and strength after 1000 bends. He transparent indium-tin oxide. Flexibility of the material means that it can be sold cheaper due to large rolls.
Scientists believe that they have created the material will revolutionize the touch surface . Commercialization of research results especially please those who has a habit of dropping the phone.
"The above two factors point to a need to replace indium tin oxide more economical transparent flexible conductive coatings. We consider our film as a real competitor to indium tin oxide. The problem of cracking the screen of the smartphone can be solved once and for all through a flexible touch-sensitive surface - said researcher Yu Zhu polymeric materials from University of Akron.
