We have in this paper developed a simple, one-step strategy to fabricate free-standing, flexible thermochromic films at a centimeter scale by the instant free radical polymerization of a sterically stabilized magnetically responsive photonic crystal (MRPC) nonaqueous suspension containing N -isoprop...
