Synergistic Toughening Bioinspired Poly(vinyl alcohol)-Clay-Nanofibrillar Cellulose Artificial Nacre

祝贺王建锋博士的论文“Synergistic Toughening Bioinspired Poly(vinyl alcohol)-Clay-Nanofibrillar Cellulose Artificial Nacre”被ACS Nano接受发表!(Manuscript ID: nn-2013-06428n)

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.
