title: Polymer nanocomposites with controllable distribution and arrangement of inorganic nanocomponents.
abstract: A novel approach to prepare nanocomposites encapsulating one or multiple kinds of nanoelements with diverse spatial distribution patterns and orientational organization manners was reported. Nanowires were uniaxially aligned over macroscopic dimensions within bulk composites, which recreated the basic structural hierarchy of bone and displayed comparable excellent mechanical properties.
