Created a film for smartphones with multiple automatic recovery

Scientists have created a film for smartphones that can self-repair after

damage. The researchers used gelatin in the development.

Hi-Tech writes briefly about this. It is reported that the film can be restored many times. The cracks “heal” in a few minutes. As a result, the film retains all its properties.

While working, the scientists mixed gelatin and glucose.Laboratory experiments have shown that breaks in the resulting film disappear in a few hours at room temperature and in just 10 minutes at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius.

It is important that the film, even after repeatedmechanical damage and recovery retains the ability to transmit an electrical signal. The authors of the development believe that in commercial use it will increase the durability of touchscreen devices.
