The "Second Skin" technology (also known as XPL technology), which originated from Olivo, a company incubated by MIT scientists in the United States, was first unveiled in 2016 and called the "Second Skin".
As you can see here, the technology is also a bionic skin. The color and elasticity of the skin is better than that of real skin. Pouches and wrinkles, the hallmarks of ageing, are obscured in a technique that should be more familiar to cosmetic scientists: it is based on silicone polymers, which are widely used in cosmetics. The element silicon, carbon's cousin, has a variety of applications. Silicone plasticity is very strong, can be made into silicone oil such as low viscosity volatile liquid, but also can be made into silicone resin such as elastic solid, cross-linking degree is one of the key factors, the higher the cross-linking degree, the stronger after forming.
A few examples of low crosslinking are silicone oils, which have a texture like water and are even volatile; And the crosslinking degree of medium silicone, can be made of silicon elastomer, often used in the eye cream "translucent and elastic plasticine", cover fine lines effect is good; Further solid silicone can make silicone resin that is very similar in texture to human body. For example, silicone filler is often used in breast augmentation surgery. With today's highest technical level, both texture, touch and elasticity when undulating can be as good as real. All this is to illustrate the potential of organosilicon in bionics, which can be applied to the skin without any trace. MIT scientists are just the kind of features, application of organic silicon has developed a new usage of "instant crosslinking", is to use the crosslinking degree of medium organic silicon (similar to the silicone elastomer in the eye cream), put on the skin, reoccupy contains trace platinum catalyst (platinum) is the second part of the emulsion, let the "eye" further got behind in silicon resin (similar to the breast enhancement packing). With the right level of control, the membrane is perfect for mimicking young skin.
