Argyropoulous, C.; Morin, S.A.; Taylor, J.M. (Left to Right), authors of the study.

The Morin Group was recognized on the front page of UNL Today for our recent paper published in Advanced Materials. Great job everyone!

Jay’s paper, “Soft Surfaces for the Reversible Control of Thin-Film Microstructure and Optical Reflectance,” was accepted to Advanced Materials and published online January 29, 2016. Congratulations!

“A micromechano optical material is rapidly and reversibly switched between distinct states of reflectance by simply stretching and relaxing the hybrid structure. The material is fabricated and controlled by leveraging the ability of soft elastic substrates to regulate the growth and morphological evolution of a chemically deposited polycrystalline thin film.”
