Machine Learning–Assisted Bio‐Interfacial Engineering Resolves Structural–Functional Conflicts in Nanocomposites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A machine learning‐guided bio‐interfacial design strategy resolves the long‐standing strength–toughness–functionality trade‐off in nanocomposites. By efficiently mapping high‐performance regions in the composition–processing space, the approach delivers hierarchically entangled, nanosheet‐pinned architectures that combine mechanical robustness ...
