Abstract
Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years, resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such as bones and teeth to fulfill mechanical and biological functions, despite the fact that most inorganic biominerals that constitute biomineralized tissues are weak and brittle. During the long-period evolution process, nature has evolved a number of highly effective and smart strategies to design chemical compositions and structures of biomineralized tissues to enable superior properties and to adapt to surrounding environments. Most biomineralized tissues have hierarchically ordered structures consisting of very small building blocks on the nanometer scale (nanoparticles, nanofibers or nanoflakes) to reduce the inherent weaknesses and brittleness of corresponding inorganic biominerals, to prevent crack initiation and propagation, and to allow high defect tolerance. The bioinspired principles derived from biomineralized tissues are indispensable for designing and constructing high-performance biomimetic materials. In recent years, a large number of high-performance biomimetic materials have been prepared based on these bioinspired principles with a large volume of literature covering this topic. Therefore, a timely and comprehensive review on this hot topic is highly important and contributes to the future development of this rapidly evolving research field. This review article aims to be comprehensive, authoritative, and critical with wide general interest to the science community, summarizing recent advances in revealing the formation processes, composition, and structures of biomineralized tissues, providing in-depth insights into guidelines derived from biomineralized tissues for the design and construction of high-performance biomimetic materials, and discussing recent progress, current research trends, key problems, future main research directions and challenges, and future perspectives in this exciting and rapidly evolving research field.

Abstract
Multilayered films prepared from graphene oxide (GO) subjected to a single oxidation process (1GO) can actuate in response to moisture, whereas those prepared from GO subjected to two oxidation processes (2GO) lose this ability. To elucidate the origin of this difference, the structures and properties of various multilayered films and their contents were analyzed. According to atomic force microscopy images, the lateral size of the GO monolayer in 2GO (2.0 ± 0.4 μm) was smaller than that in 1GO (3.2 ± 0.4 μm), although this size difference did not affect actuation. Scanning electron microscopy images of the cross sections of both films showed fine multilayered structures and X-ray diffraction measurements showed the moisture sensitive reversible change in the interlayer distances for both films. Both films adsorbed 30 wt% moisture in 60 s with different water contents at the bottom moist sides and top air sides of the films. Nanoindentation experiments showed hardness values (1GO: 156 ± 67 MPa; 2GO: 189 ± 97 MPa) and elastic modulus values (1GO: 4.7 ± 1.7 GPa; 2GO: 5.8 ± 3.2 GPa) typical of GO, with no substantial difference between the films. On the contrary, the 1GO film bent when subjected to a weight equal to its own weight, whereas the 2GO film did not. Such differences in the macroscopic hardness of GO films can affect their moisture-induced actuation ability.

Abstract
Polyethyleneimine aids the gas diffusion precipitation of nano-structured basic cobalt carbonate sheets at the air/solution interface. Upon drying, these mineral films undergo self-rolling into 3D coiled structures. Exploring this principle for the design of self-supported functional materials, porous Co3O4 spirals composed of interconnected nanoparticles are obtained by thermal conversion.

Abstract
For modern material engineering, one of the most ambitious goals is to develop lightweight structural materials with superior strength and toughness. Nacre, a typical biomaterial with high mechanical performance, has always inspired synthesis of high-performance structural composites. Here, the synthesis strategies for further enhancing the strength and toughness of novel nacre-inspired structural composites, including ternary artificial nacre, artificial nacre reinforced by bridges, and those with an ultrahigh content of a hard phase, are reviewed. Also, the challenges and outlook for preparing lighter, stronger, and tougher structural composites are discussed.

[PMID: 29062048 PMCID: PMC5653744 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14191-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2017] [Accepted: 09/27/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
With the emerging of drug-resistant bacterial and fungal pathogens, there raise the interest of utilizing versatile antimicrobial biomaterials to treat the acute wound. Herein, we report the spraying mediated assembly of a bio-inspired Ag@reduced graphene-sodium alginate (AGSA) composite film for effective wound healing. The obtained film displayed lamellar microstructures similar to the typical “brick-and-mortar” structure in nacre. In this nacre-mimic structure, there are abundant interfacial interactions between nanosheets and polymeric matrix, leading to remarkable reinforcement. As a result, the tensile strength, toughness and Young’s modulus have been improved 2.8, 2.3 and 2.7 times compared with pure sodium alginate film, respectively. In the wound healing study, the AGSA film showed effective antimicrobial activities towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, demonstrating the ability of protecting wound from pathogenic microbial infections. Furthermore, in vivo experiments on rats suggested the effect of AGSA film in promoting the recovery of wound sites. According to MTT assays, heamolysis evaluation and in vivo toxicity assessment, the composite film could be applied as a bio-compatible material in vitro and in vivo. Results from this work indicated such AGSA film has promising performance for wound healing and suggested great potential for nacre-mimic biomaterials in tissue engineering applications.
