Waterproofed Gadgets: Ion-Mask, a Waterproof Coating for Gadgets
“Ion-Mask is a protective layer that bonds to the device using a plasma, or electronically charged gas, and its chemical properties allow oil and water to be repelled easily. Originally developed for treating soldiers’ uniforms to repel toxic vapors and liquids in chemical or biological attacks, the technology will be used to protect devices thought to be too small to be fitted with waterproof seals, such as mobiles and MP3 players. As well as covering the devices, Ion-Mask is versatile enough to be able to coat individual components, in order to up the level of protection.”
