| Abstract: | A flexible hard coating for foldable displays is realized by the highly cross‐linked siloxane hybrid using structure–property relationships in organic–inorganic hybridization. Glass‐like wear resistance, plastic‐like flexibility, and highly elastic resilience are demonstrated together with outstanding optical transparency. It provides a framework for the application of siloxane hybrids in protective hard coatings with high scratch resistance and flexibility for foldable displays. |
