The NanoMend researchers at the University of Huddersfield have been working with the Durham-based Centre for Process Innovation, a leading producer of printable electronics, including flexible solar panels. In these products, a thin "barrier film" is vital to protect the electronics. But tiny defects can allow the penetration of water vapor that can degrade the barrier and reduce the efficiency of the solar panel itself.
