Inspired by the nacre, we demonstrated the integrated ternary artificial nacre nanocomposites through synergistic toughening of graphene oxide (GO) and nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC). In addition, the covalent bonding was introduced between adjacent GO nanosheets. The synergistic toughening effects from building blocks of one-dimensional NFC and two-dimensional GO, interface interactions of hydrogen and covalent bonding together result in the integrated mechanical properties including high tensile strength, toughness, and fatigue life as well as high electrical conductivity. These extraordinary properties of the ternary synthetic nacre nanocomposites allow the support for advances in diverse strategic fields including stretchable electronics, transportation, and energy. Such bioinspired strategy also provides a new insight in designing novel multifunctional nanocomposites.
