Bioinspired Compartmentalization Strategy for Coating Polymers with Self-Organized Prismatic Films

Biomineralization provides load-bearing and protective functions to living organisms by reinforcing soft tissues. Translation of biomineralization principles materials science in a controlled self-organized fashion is highly desirable but challenging. A major lesson from natural systems that crystallization may be compartmentalization templating. Here, we develop technique based on graphene oxide-mediated templating prismatic growth calcite nanocoatings via control ionic diffusivity into the microcompartments, which results multistage, represents an effective strategy for providing continuous enhancing tribological performance polymeric surfaces under contact stresses. The present research offers bottom-up approach using very basic protection surfaces, are interest biomedical applications fabrication high-performance functional sustainable manner.
