A scratch free future for mobile phones and glasses on cards thanks to Irish research

Researchers based in Trinity College are to coordinate a project to mass produce scratch and abrasion resistant and anti-reflective surfaces that can be applied on mobile phones, camera lenses, and car components.

Dr Parvaneh Mokarian, Senior Research Fellow at AMBER, the Science Foundation Ireland funded materials science centre based at Trinity College Dublin, will coordinate a major European project valued at €8.2m to pioneer the mass production of scratch and abrasion resistant and anti-reflective surfaces.
