Abstract

A transparent nanofiber composite panel that includes a plurality of transparent nanofibers integrated in random orientations within a transparent matrix is provided. The transparent nanofibers have a diameter that is less than the wavelength of visible light. The extremely small diameter of the transparent nanofibers allows the transparent panel to be substantially insensitive to an RI 'mismatch' between the transparent nanofibers and the transparent matrix. Additionally, due to random orientation of the transparent nanofibers within the transparent matrix the transparent nanofiber composite panel possesses substantially isotropic material properties such that the transparent nanofiber composite panel can be incorporated as a structural, load bearing, component of a larger structure.
