Abstract

Abstract : An optically transparent epoxy‐siloxane molecular hybrid material that simultaneously exhibits glass‐like wear resistance and strength, plastic‐like modulus and a high modulus of resilience is developed by Byeong‐Soo Bae and co‐workers, as described in article number1700205 . This hybrid material is utilized as a flexible hard coating on a plastic film for use in cover windows of foldable displays, which represents high pencil hardness, excellent abrasive resistance and flexibility.
