Wide Area Deposition of Transparent Flexible Nanocomposites

Druffel T., Optical Dynamics, US

Our group has been involved in the deposition of thin film nanocomposites via spin coating in which the optical and mechanical properties of the composites is controlled by the volume packing of the inorganic nanoparticles. [...]

Total flexibility in thin film design using polymer nanocomposites

Druffel T., Buazza O., Lattis M., Farmer S., Optical Dynamics, US

Optically clear, mechanically flexible nanocomposites are created by doping host polymers with nanoparticles having higher or lower refractive indices. The composite materials preserve the viscoelastic properties of the binding polymers and exhibit infinite tunability between [...]
