Biomimetic design and assembly of organic–inorganic composite films with simultaneously enhanced strength and toughness

Abstract

Inorganic nanoplatelet reinforced polymer films were fabricated via alternate layer-by-layer assembly of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplatelets with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which showed largely enhanced strength and good ductility simultaneously.
