1. Approaches to the manufacture of multi-nanolayer systems
1.1 The benefits of multi-nanolayer structures
The best way to illustrate the importance of a multi-nanocoque structure for a material's properties is to look at natural materials, which often offer complex yet elegant and intelligent structures, perfectly illustrating the idea of adapting an object's structure to its function.
Mother-of-pearl consists, as shown in the images in figure 1 , of alternating layers of aragonite (inorganic compound CaCO 3 ) around 500 nm thick and layers of an organic biopolymer a few tens of nanometers thick. Although...
