According to Engadget, a recent academic report published in Science discusses a new glass-like, hard-macromolecular polymer material that is fully self-healing in the event of fragmentation.
Of course, under the conditions of the prior art, the self-healing ability of this polymer needs to be achieved at a high temperature of 120 ° C. However, it is not possible to repair the broken screen by a smartphone in the future.
It is reported that the study was published by Professor Takuzo Aida of Tokyo University and his research team.First, Yu Yanagisawa, a graduate student, inadvertently found that at first he thought this material may become an adhesive, but he may have found A new material to create a cell phone self-healing screen.
In fact, this is not the first time that scientists have discussed self-healing materials that could replace traditional cell phone screen glasses: in March this year, chemists at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Colorado discovered a self-healing material that stretches To 50 times the original size.In August of this year, Motorola announced that it has applied for a screen self-healing patent.
