An all-natural bioinspired structural material for plastic replacement

An all-natural bioinspired structural material for plastic replacement

It is desirable yet challenging to develop sustainable structural materials to replace petroleum-based plastics. Here, the authors report a facile assembly method for manufacturing high-performance structural materials with a unique combination of high strength, toughness and stiffness.
