All-dielectric invisibility cloaks made of BaTiO3-loaded polyurethane foam
First invisibility cloak implementation relatively easily scalable to large-scale manufacturing. Paper downloaded over 250 times in 13 days (10% IOP papers achieve this but over 3-months). Work was outcome of TSB grant AMULET (Robert.Pearson@cobham.com; TP/8/ADM/6/l/Q2084L, £3.4M), and result of collaboration with QMUL (Materials). Technologies being further developed under 5yr EPSRC Programme grant 'QUEST' (EP/I034548/1, £4.5m, 2011), with QMUL (Hao) leading and consortia members Oxford (Materials), and Exeter (Physics). Work contributed to 2012 award of £100k European Office of Aerospace R&D (USA) grant (vic.putz@us.af.mil; FA86555-12-1-2091). Led to invitation to serve as session chair at IMAPS/ACerS CICMT 2013 (www.imaps.org/ceramics/index.htm) (reitel@engr.uky.edu).
