Sounds like it would be great as a coating for optical equipment in harsh environments like space. I wouldn't trust 4 microns as a window there but there are definite applications.

My personal favorite new technology is flash Bainite which was invented by a self taught Detroit metallurgist.

Just to belabor the point ...

4 microns IS NOT a reference to the thickness of the material. It refers to a wavelength of light to which the material is transparent.

It could probably do a good job in protecting IRS hard drives.
