The unique stacking distribution of the charged layers creates the possibilities to construct nanocomposites by interacting with organic functional groups1-10. Better than conventional microparticle composites, the properties of the intercalated and exfoliated nanocomposites are more synergistic if which the clay platelets are entirely and uniformly dispersed in a continuous polymer matrix. Nacre mimetic nanocomposites with a maximum fraction of clay particles, are among the mostly explored. The unique brick-and-mortar structure of nacre causes a great increase in mechanical properties(tensile stress, modulus). The incorporation of inorganic reinforcements with only a small fraction (less than 5 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)11 DO - DOI:10.18154/RWTH-2025-03603 UR - https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/1009668 ER -
