Enamel has good optical and mechanical properties because of its multiscale hierarchical structure. Biomimetic construction of enamel-like 3D bulk materials at nano-, micro-, mesh- and macro-levels is a challenge. We reported a novel facile, cost-effective, and easy large-scale bottom-up assembly st...
