Nanopaper light scattering under control

10-Apr-2013 - USA

Collaborators in the US and China have demonstrated that by changing the diameter of cellulose fibres in nanopaper they can tailor its optical properties for use in optoelectronics. Cheap flexible plastic is used in all electronic devices due to its flexibility and low weight but it does have some disadvantages. Nanopaper is not only more flexible than plastic but is also easier to print on and more stable at higher temperatures.
