title: Soft Surfaces for the Reversible Control of Thin-Film Microstructure and Optical Reflectance.
abstract: 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.
