abstract = {Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/laponite (LP) nanocomposite coatings were fabricated via a facile one-step coassembly process. The formed nanocoatings contain a high concentration of LP nanosheets, which can be well aligned along the substrate surface during the coassembly process. Due to the highly orientated structure, the flexible nanocoatings exhibit ultra-high transparency and superior mechanical properties, and can also act as excellent gas barriers. Such nanocoatings can be exceptional candidates for a variety of applications, such as food packaging.}
