Nacre-inspired nanocomposites produced using layer-by-layer assembly: design strategies and biomedical applications

Biomimetics constitutes an attractive strategy for the development of new functional materials in a variety of fields. Nacre is a natural composite composed of 95% aragonite and 5% organicmaterialswith a layered and hierarchical structure which has be shown to have high toughness and mechanical stre...
