title: Flexible Hard Coating: Glass-Like Wear Resistant, Yet Plastic-Like Compliant, Transparent Protective Coating for Foldable Displays.
abstract: A flexible hard coating for foldable displays is realized by the highly cross-linked siloxane hybrid using structure-property relationships in organic-inorganic hybridization. Glass-like wear resistance, plastic-like flexibility, and highly elastic resilience are demonstrated together with outstanding optical transparency. It provides a framework for the application of siloxane hybrids in protective hard coatings with high scratch resistance and flexibility for foldable displays.
