Abstract:Natural nacre exhibits extraordinary strong and tough properties with its brick-and-mortar structure that was perfected after millions of years of evolution. Inspired by nacre's hierarchical structure, we fabricated multifunctional bioinspired nanocomposites of graphene oxide (GO) and montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) via a vacuum-assisted filtration self-assembly process. By combining graphene oxide and montmorillonite with PVA, we demonstrated an effective synergistic toughening effect and obtained integrated strong and tough bioinspired nanocomposites...
