Nacre-mimetics with synthetic nanoclays up to ultrahigh aspect ratios.

abstract：:Molecular shape recognition for larger guest molecules (typically over 1 nm) is a difficult task because it requires cooperativity within a wide three-dimensional nanospace coincidentally probing every molecular aspect (size, outline shape, flexibility and specific groups). Although the intelligent functions of protei...
