Biological materials found in Nature such as nacre and bone are well recognized as light‐
weight, strong, and tough structural materials. The remarkable toughness and damage …

Gathering inspiration from nature for the design of new materials, products and processes is
a topic gaining rapid interest among scientists and engineers. In this review, we introduce …

Horns from the Bovidae family represent extremely tough natural composites that resist
flexural and impact damage during combat. However, the microstructure characteristics of …

Graphene‐based fibers (GBFs) are attractive for next‐generation wearable electronics due
to their potentially high mechanical strength, superior flexibility, and excellent electrical and …

Inspired by the microstructures of naturally layered and highly oriented materials, such as
natural nacre, we report a thermally conductive polymer composite that consists of epoxy …

Through designing hierarchical structures, particularly optimizing the chemical and
architectural interactions at its inorganic/organic interface, nacre has achieved an excellent …

Nacre‐like graphene films are prepared by evaporation‐induced assembly of graphene
oxide dispersions containing small amounts of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), followed by …

Efficient thermal management is becoming a global challenge with the rapid development of
modern electronics. Therefore, conventional thermally conductive nanocomposites exhibit …

Nacreous architecture has a good combination of toughness and modulus, which can be
mimicked at the micron to submicron level using 3D printing to resolve the demand in …

The low toughness under the tension of cement and concrete materials has been a long‐
standing issue for decades and it has become increasingly urgent to address in modern …
