Researchers have confirmed that “self-healing” screens for mobile phones will soon be reached.
Researchers from Concordia University in the United States are working to develop a unique self-healing mechanism for screens in order to protect them from breaking, through nanotechnology.
One of the main difficulties in these types of projects is maintaining a balance between mechanical properties and self-repairing properties, says the research paper titled Recoverable Electron Nanogenerators, published in the journal ACS Nano.
The research focuses on achieving full recovery of scratches at room temperature only as the research team created self-healing polymer networks through very simple synthetic methods The developed materials showed excellent results at room temperature.
The research continues that these materials save time and money for consumers while extending the life of the materials used and reducing the environmental burden.
Many people suffer from frequent breakage of the screens of their mobile phones, which sometimes causes large material losses, especially if the phone is of high quality.
