An iPhone case by Nissan that repairs its scratches on its own!

The car manufacturer Nissan
announce itNissan Scratch Shield iPhone Case, a shell to the
special paint thatrepairs scratches on its ownWho
could touch her.

The painting was created in 2005 in partnership with the University of Tokyo and
Advanced Softmaterials Inc. It is already used for models of the
Infiniti brand, the top of the range of the group, and certain Nissan models, a
new application for mobile cases is therefore on order
jour :

The secret lies in athin top layer made of
polyrotaxanewhich returns to its shape after a scratch.

Only this upper layer is repaired and thereforea deep scratch
like that of a key will always be seenbut we can imagine that the
process will keep the phonesall beautiful more
a long time.
Nissan used the coating on a plastic-based iPhone case
Very flexible ABSand which does not shine (which already reduces the
visibility of scratches). The hulls will be presented and available for
journalists this weekend on the occasion of the launch of a new vehicle
at the Dubai Motor Show. If the feedback is convincing Nissan
expects commercialization later this year.

But rather than on a hull, why not use this paint on the
phone itself? The Japanese operatorNTT DoCoMohas already
acquired the license and uses Scratch Shield technology for its model
Style Series N-03B.

If the polyrotaxane layer is truly translucent and can be applied
only hope Apple uses this coating for its next phone! Of the
chemists among our readers to clarify whether we can imagine the same thing
for a touch screen?
