Humidity-triggered self-healing films with excellent oxygen barrier performance.

Hybrid films were fabricated via layer-by-layer assembly of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplatelets and poly(sodium styrene-4-sulfonate) (PSS) followed by subsequent permeation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which show excellent oxygen barrier performance with humidity-triggered self-healing capability.
