DoCoMo to Sell Phones With Self-Healing Paint Covers
Japan's DoCoMo is to license a "Scratch Shield" paint for its mobile phones from Nissan Motors. The self-healing paint, currently applied to certain Nissan and Infiniti vehicles worldwide, was developed in collaboration with University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials. Cellular News reports.
Scratch Shield is a clearcoat that is more scratch resistant compared with conventional clearcoats, helping a vehicle maintain its new look for a longer period of time. The paint also repairs fine scratches, restoring a vehicle's surface close to its original state.
According to Nissan special highly elastic resin has been combined with a conventional clearcoat to increase the paint's flexibility. This has also increased its strength by raising the resin density.
