A rollable transparent glass‐fabric reinforced composite film (GFRHybrimer) with potential for use as a substrate in flexible devices is reported on p. 4510 by Byeong‐Soo Bae and co‐workers. The GFRHybrimer film is fabricated by impregnating woven glass‐fabric with a photocurable sol‐gel hybrid material (Hybrimer). This process imparts a low coefficient of thermal expansion to the composite film. High optical transparency can be achieved by precise matching of the refractive index.
