Abstract

Due to the various needs in the current applications, multifunctional composite materials with high strength and high toughness were highly desired now. Many scholars dedicated their time to find a simple, green and fast method for the preparation of multi-functional materials. In this study, inspired by the hierarchical “brick-and-mortar” structure and excellent mechanical performance of nacre, a fast green vacuum-filtration method was used to fabricate strong and multifunctional polyglutamic acid/layered double hydroxide (PGA/LDH) films mimicking nacre. The experimental results confirm that the artificial nacre has hierarchical “brick-and-mortar” structure. It exhibits excellent strength (93.5 MPa) and flexibility (easily bendable fold), combining with outstanding properties of UV-blocking and translucence properties. This work provides a way of fabricating multifunctional organic-inorganic hybrid films, which has potential applications in the areas of optical, transportation and construction fields.
