This isn’t the first time we’re hearing of a self-healing
material for smartphones. Late last year, a team of Scientist at University of California Riverside invented a phone screen material that can heal itself.

Prior to this, if you drop your phone and the
screen shatters, you usually have two options: Get it repaired or replace the
phone entirely. But with this latest discovery, it shattered your two options and
present you with a third option…self-heal itself.

Phone screen scratches without solution may soon be a thing
of the past as a team of Korean researchers have developed a new
self-healing material called “Elastomer,” which can restore dents and cracks
within 30 minutes. Elastomer is high molecular substance that is able to
stretch and shrink.

During the cause of this research, the new material was able
to recover 80% of its tensile strength in just two hours during a test that
carried out cutting and rejoining. After six hours of the test, it even showed
tensile strength that was able to lift a 5kg dumbbell.

The team also disclosed that the new material can be used as a protective layer
on mobile devices and it automatically restore any outside cracks within 30
minutes. No matter the degree of scratches on the screen of your device, it
wills self-heal itself.
However, the use of self-healing materials for smartphone
screen maybe a long term project before it comes to reality.

This would be nice. But is on phones like Galaxy S12 and them iPhone XII we'll see this tech
This is wonderful, still it's achievable. I feel Samsung will be the first to come up with something like this.
long term project indeed
I seriously finding dis hard to believe but if it becomes reality it wil be really useful @ computer village…
This is really nice
It would help tecno phone users. Because even tecno store don't have their screen.
Nice Development. For the future
If it does come to to light then less revenue for smartphone makers.
This will really come in handy but how many times can it self heal a shattered screen
All these yeye engineers will not like this one.
I rarely drop my phone sha but this move will be welcome by all
This great…… Wow! Impressive. Such a hit on engineer… Lol.
Long term project for sure
In some years to come
Such a great discovery to save phones life
