So the cells are stuck onto slabs and covered with crushed glass and a translucent resin. At the facility near versailles, in france, these seven millimetre thick panels are being tested for their strength and durability so they can withstand heavy traffic, as well as ensuring that they arent slippery. We have the cell and on each face we added polymer to increase the stiffness and the durability of the cells itself. So do they bend or are theyjust resistant to bending . Yes, of course they bend, butjust a little bit. So it resists. And they are pretty strong. Im a geek, i cant open a jar, let alone bend a piece of road. All right, 0k, can i smack it on the. .
