Using a solution of samarium nitrate and ethanol and a UV-curable liquid urethane resin as starting materials, we fabricated samarium (III)oxide (Sm2O3) nanoparticle-based composite films. The color of the films turned from yellow (of the precursor) to reddish orange after being cured by UV irradiat...
