Because smart skins are grown by depositing layer upon layer, the base coating can be used as a foundation for adding other ingredients to tailor the material's properties for specific purposes.
There's even a protective layer of splash-guard coating.

"The anti-reflective coating requires multi-layer coatings which are slightly more complex than the typical single-layer ones, " Lin told CNN.
Though its Blu-Ray machines have been its biggest money maker, the German technology company has thus diversified into other areas, where it can replicate its expertise for metalization, i.e. the process of coating plastic with a thin layer of metal.
In the process of manufacturing the pill, a middle layer is formed on the border between the coating and the inner core.
The result is that any coating, such as an antibacterial layer, would be "self-repairing" after small amounts of damage, as the molecular chains just below the damaged layer re-cover the surface.
Teams of workers Thursday began taking measurements to layer the inside of the windows with a Mylar shatter-resistant coating similar to that on car windshields.
The cotton fibers are made conductive by coating the fibers, first with gold nanoparticles, and then with a thin layer of PEDOT.
Prof de With and his team found that by attaching these molecules on the end of polymer "stalks" and mixing these throughout the coating, any that are removed by scratches are replaced by a new, self-orientating layer.
