Physical and optical interactions between metal films and organic semiconductors underpin the functionality of many organic optoelectronic devices. As shown on page 3302 by Z. Shen and D. M. O'Carroll, disordered nanoporous silver thin films fabricated by thermally‐assisted dewetting are used to influence the morphology and light‐emitting properties of various conjugated polymers. Electromagnetic interactions are found to depend on pore size and porosity and on the intrinsic properties of the polymers.
