The LbL materials are made by alternating deposition of thin films of nanoparticles and polymers. Kotov found that these composites replicate the structure and mechanical properties of nacre - a natural composite whose protective function was perfected by evolution. The uniform orientation and small size of nanoparticles also makes the LbL–constructed composites transparent.
