Biologically Inspired, Strong, Transparent, and Functional Layered Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Films

Like mother nature: Biologically inspired organic–inorganic hybrid films comprising alternating layers of chitosan and micro‐ and nanoplatelets of layered double hydroxides mimic the unique layered microstructures of seashell nacre (see picture) and display high tensile strength. Moreover, the hybri...

Description
Summary:Like mother nature: Biologically inspired organic–inorganic hybrid films comprising alternating layers of chitosan and micro‐ and nanoplatelets of layered double hydroxides mimic the unique layered microstructures of seashell nacre (see picture) and display high tensile strength. Moreover, the hybrid films can be endowed with the optical properties of the platelets.
