Members of the Laboratory in collaboration with the Research Unit for Nanostructured Materials have developed a new coating that its absorbance chracterestics resemble the solar spectrum profile. The multi-layer nanocomposite coatings compose of PDMS and plasmonic silver nanoparticles of various sizes.
