Scientists from the University of Southern Mississippi, funded by U.S. Department of Defense, have developed a new type of plastic That can mimic the behavior of human skin. Development was presented this week at the annual meeting of the International Chemical Company.
This material is made of copolymers of water-based, so in comparison with other types of plastic, it is more environmentally friendly. When data covered by a plastic casing smartphone is damaged, the molecular bonds of the long hydrocarbon chains (bridges) are broken, and around the "wound" is formed by a red spot.
The material itself is trying to return to its original state, placed under the sunlight or other intense light source, or put the change in temperature. Unlike other products with the ability to regenerate a new plastic can repair itself an infinite number of times.
The researchers suggest that the innovative design will find wide application in many industries, but the start of its commercial use is still unknown.
Talking about these technologies, we can think of a proprietary technology from Nissan . Car cover for the group released the iPhone 4/4S, with a special coating that can eliminate the slight scratches on their own.
Paintwork accessory has two layers, the upper of which is very elastic, and the appearance of small scratches are not spoiled, as is the case with ordinary paint, and deformed. Some time later, under pressure from the top of the lower layer takes the old "flat" shape and it seems that a scratch, "dragged" by itself.
