Reversible visible/near-infrared light responsive thin films based on indium tin oxide nanocrystals and polymer

Abstract In this study, we design a novel thermo- and photo-responsive nanocomposite film prepared by depositing indium tin oxide nanocrystals via the coating of amphiphilic copolymer on polycaprolactone substrates (INCP). The INCP film shows reversible surface morphology change properties by changi...
