title: A flexible pressure sensitive colour changing device using plasmonic nanoparticles.
abstract: We report on the fabrication of a flexible pressure sensitive device based on near-field coupling between silver nanoparticles and an underlying conductor. Visually apparent colour changes can be realized with minimal change in separation owing to the high fields localized to the particle's surface. The use of soft and compliant materials enables actuation of the device at low strain.
