The encapsulating film for the touchscreen of a foldable smartphone consists of a flexible
polymer layer covered by a hard coating and an antismudge coating, and the two coating …

Flexible hard coatings with strong adhesion are critical requirements for several foldable
devices and marine applications; however, only a few such coatings have been reported …

Hard yet flexible coatings with multi‐functionalities are useful for foldable displays and
marine industries but rare. In this study, a highly cross‐linked multifunctional hybrid coating …

For realizing foldable displays, transparent and robust cover window film consisting of hard
coating and the polymeric substrate should be developed. However, in terms of practical …

The pursuit of achieving both ceramic-like hardness and polymer-like flexibility in a coating,
known as a polymer–ceramic hybrid coating, is a challenging yet highly desirable goal. The …

Polymer cover windows are important components of flexible OLED displays but they easily
generate wrinkles because of their weak folding resistance. Increasing the polymer …

Coatings that are transparent, wear resistant, flexible, and anti-smudge may be used on
foldable touchscreens, for example. However, there have been only few reports on such …

With the development of smart electronic devices, the importance of surface-protective
coatings is rapidly increasing. Superhydrophobic surfaces are promising protective coatings …

Octakis (3-methacryloxypropyl) silsesquioxane (MPOSS) photocured using a free-radical
initiator under N2 has a high hardness H of 0.99±0.05 GPa but has poor bendability. Octakis …

Emerging flexible optoelectronics requires a new type of protective material that is not only
hard but also flexible. Organic–inorganic (O–I) hybrid materials have been used as a flexible …
