Scratch Free Paint Coming to Mobile Phones
Technology has brought us plenty of interesting products. In 2005, Nissan developed a super elastic paint that is what we can only describe as “scratch resistant”. Used on cars, this allowed vehicles to take light scratches that would instantly “heal” over night. Larger and deeper scratches would take longer but it would take really severe scratches before a repaint is needed. This very same paint has now been registered for use by mobile phone company DoCoMo. They will be introducing self-healing paint on mobile phones, this unique feature would definitely be in heavy demand all over the world once it is made available.
The self healing paint is the result of a combined research effort between Nissan, University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterial Inc. The paint uses a unique resin that allows the paint to heal from light scratches easily. Scratches, depending on how deep they are and the environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature, affect how long the healing process will take. Scratches usually take from a single night to a week to heal.
The paint (for the car) is touted to be both water-resistant and scratch resilient. In a normal abrasion test, a car coated with this coating will only take a fifth of the scratches that an average car would, this extends the lifespan of a car paint in terms of wear and tear; though the effectiveness of the paint itself is only good for up to three years.
NTT DoCoMo, is a major telecommunications company in Japan. As of the time of writing, the company has announced that they will be offering the scratch shield as an additional feature for their subscribers. So far, no mobile phone manufacturer has taken up this technology; though it would be a great investment for many people –particularly those who need their phones to be a little tougher than usual.
