  We report on successful tests of holographically arranged grating-structures
in nanoparticle-polymer composites in the form of 100 microns thin
free-standing films, i.e. without sample containers or covers that could cause
unwanted absorption/incoherent scattering of very-cold neutrons. Despite their
large diameter of 2 cm, the flexible materials are of high optical quality and
yield mirror-like reflectivity of about 90% for neutrons of 4.1 nm wavelength.
