Anti-smudge coating A research project has developed a high-transparent hybrid coating using epoxy MTQ silicone resins and amine-terminated hyperbranched polysiloxane (HPSi), combining glass-like hardness with polymer-like flexibility and anti-smudge properties. The coating achieves exceptional hardness (7-9H), flexibility, low surface energy (14.8 mJ/m ), and transparency (99.4 %), maintaining performance even after 1000 abrasion cycles.
