Since the first emergence of technology, the evolution never stopped.And now in the present age of rapid advancement of smart gadgets another extraordinary collection has been added into the list of smartproducts – the firstever light-emitting, transparent and flexible paper.
The evolution of smart technology added many gems into its list – from phones to tablets and then watches and glasses. However, these inventions could not eradicate the barrier of rigidity. Now the Researchers from China have reported that they have developed light-emitting, transparent and flexible paper – a technology that takes one step ahead to the revolution of bendable electronics.
This transparent, flexible and light-emittingpaper is reported to be environmentfriendly that has been made out of similar eco-friendly materials using a simple anda greater rate of filtration technique.
It has been long predicted by the technology experts that the age of flexible electronicsis coming, and researchers are working diligently on severalfacades to find a way towards that goal. Sincemost of the progressesdepend on petroleum-based plastics and toxic materials, Yu-Zhong Wang, Fei Song and their colleagues in China wanted a solution in a “greener” way.
In this endeavor, Yu-Zhong Wang and Fei Songled a team of researchers who were material scientists at Sichuan University, China. About the research and the outcome have beenissuedin the American Chemical Society's journal Applied Materials and Interfacesthis week.
What thescientists wrote in their new paper is pretty inspiring, "This material can bring a new thinking on future electronic displays and 3D printing papers".
The paper that the researchers developed is a thin, clear nanocellulose paper prepared out of wood flour and later suffused it with biocompatible quantum dots. These arelittle, semiconducting crystals which are made combining zinc and selenium. What is interesting is that this paper glows at room heat and can easily be rolled and unrolled without the fear of cracking it.
