Abstract: Inspired
by the layered aragonite platelet/nanofibrillar chitin/protein ternary
structure and integration of extraordinary strength and toughness of natural
nacre, artificial nacre based on clay platelet/nanofibrillar
cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol) is constructed through evaporation-induced
self-assembly technique. The synergistic toughening effect from clay platelets
and nanofibrillar cellulose is successfully demonstrated. The artificial nacre achieves excellent balance of strength and
toughness, and
fatigue-resistant property, superior
to natural nacre and other conventional layered clay/polymer binary
composites.
