Materials with excellent thermal stability, mechanical, and insulating properties are highly desirable for electrical equipment with high voltage and high power. However, simultaneously integrating these performance portfolios into a single material remains a great challenge. Here, we describe a new strategy to prepare composite film by combining one-dimensional (1D) rigid aramid nanofiber (ANF) with 2D alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) nanoplates using the carboxylated chitosan acting as hydrogen bonding donors as well as soft interlocking agent. A biomimetic nacreous 'brick-and-mortar' structure with a 3D hydrogen bonding network is constructed in the obtained ANF/chitosan/Al 2 O 3 composite films, which provides the composite films with exceptional mechanical and dielectric properties. The ANF/chitosan/Al 2 O 3 composite film exhibits an ultrahigh electric breakdown strength of 320.1 kV/mm at 15 wt % Al 2 O 3 loading, which is 50.6% higher than that of the neat ANF film. Meanwhile, a large elongation at break of 17.22% is achieved for the composite film, integrated with high tensile strength (~233 MPa), low dielectric loss (&lt;0.02), and remarkable thermal stability. These findings shed new light on the fabrication of multifunctional insulating materials and broaden their practical applications in the field of advanced electrics and electrical devices.
