I must admit that it seems a litle strange that such a product would set unused for so long. Seems to me that it would have 100’s of applications.

The problem with modern research is it looks forward, never back....

Perhaps it was previously cost-prohibitive for marketable applications at that time.

I had to do a bit of searching, but finally found why it wasn't in wider use before now. As I expected, it's expensive and difficult to produce in large pieces (like auto windshields). It's only now that we have things that are small, expensive, and need a tough, scratch-resistant glass screen.
