Researchers have developed various methods to create synthetic nacre-like materials. One common technique involves layer-by-layer assembly, where layers of inorganic nanoparticles and organic polymers are alternately deposited to mimic the natural structure of nacre. Other methods include biomineralization, where conditions are controlled to promote the growth of inorganic crystals within an organic matrix, and self-assembly, where molecules spontaneously organize into the desired structure.
