    China Paint Online News: Mobile phones and smartphones have not yet adapted to users' habits. Everyone wants to be able to keep their phones in their pockets while they're sitting: countless phones are rigid and can't bend as people think. It's no secret that people in the trade have been looking for flexible displays. At the 2015 International Nanotechnology Exhibition and Symposium in Tokyo, Japan, INM (Leibniz-Institute for New Materials) demonstrated coatings that meet this performance.
    researchers used TCOs (transparent conductive oxides) as nanoparticle inks. "We use TCOS to prepare special-performance nanoparticles," says Peter William de Oliveira, Director of the Optical Materials Project, "and then add solvents and special binders to make TCO inks." "The binder plays multiple roles in it: on the one hand, the TCO nanoparticles adhere well to the film, and on the other hand, it increases the flexibility of the TCO coating, allowing the film to remain well conductive when bent. This ink can be printed directly on the film through a printed plate. The coating is finished when it is cured at 150 degrees C in UV light.
    use this transparent electronic ink, even with traditional reel processing processes to produce large-scale conductors without problems. The preliminary results of INM confirm the broad prospect of research. The researchers agreed that in the future the use of structured rollers could lead to a large number of low-cost printing of large areas of structured conductive surfaces. TCO conductive coatings are usually made using high vacuum technologies such as sputtering, but at high cost.and beyond, INM will guide the research and development of new materials. The team of chemical, physical, biological, materials scientists and engineers has always focused on these basic questions: What material properties are new, how are they studied, and how will they be used in industry in the future? The four priorities of INM's current development are: new materials for energy, new concepts for medical surfaces, new surface materials for frictional applications, nanoseedics and nanobiology. INM research can be divided into three categories: nano-composite technology, interface materials, biological interface.
