LITTLE FALLS, NJ - May 12, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL) today released a photograph that shows its smart surface technology's dramatic ability to repel liquids. In the embedded photograph the viewer can see individual water droplets in a 3x4 array sitting on top of an mPhase created smart porous silicon membrane.

The smart porous silicon membrane can repel both aqueous and many non-aqueous liquids. In this example, individual droplets of water are sitting atop silicon material containing thousands of microscopic holes, which repel the liquid from passing through the pores of the membrane.

Under controlled conditions, the liquid can be made to pass through the pores of the membrane, such that the liquid can interact with materials or chemicals that are located below the surface of the membrane.

The photograph shows an example of how smart surfaces materials have been used to develop a miniature reserve battery that has a very long shelf life, and which can be electronically triggered to turn on under programmable control, and how this technology can potentially be expanded to other non battery applications, such as the delivery of drugs or smart filters.

mPhase will also be following up this photograph with a video segment that describes how the smart surface components can be assembled using semiconductor packaging methods, into a reserve battery containing lithium chemistry, that was developed under a recently funded government grant, as a power source used in computer memory backup.

"We are continuing to make significant strides in the development of our smart surfaces technology as is evidenced by this remarkable photograph," said Ron Durando, president and CEO of mPhase Technologies.
