Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016028642A1] Free-standing, flexible articles (skins), with settable or tunable reflectivity, for a defined range of electromagnetic frequencies are provided. The articles include a monolayer, or multi-layers, of ductile or elastic materials which retain mechanical integrity when the skin is stretched, flexed or otherwise altered in shape during deployment or use. The articles may further include an optical structure which exhibit changeable reflectivity when the skin is stretched, flexed or otherwise altered in shape. Methods of tuning the reflective characteristics of such skin through stretching, flexing or otherwise changing shape are also provided.
