title: Tunable color generation of transparent composite films reinforced with luminescent nanofillers.
abstract: A new composite film based on calcined layered rare earth hydroxides and poly(vinyl alcohol) shows a visible light transmittance comparable to that of the pure matrix, highly reinforced mechanical strength as well as tunable photoluminescence in rolled and folded shapes.
