Bio‐inspired multifunctional composite films based on reduced poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene oxide (R‐PVA/GO) layers are prepared by a facile solution casting method followed by a reduction procedure. The resulting films with nacre‐like, bricks‐and‐mortar microstructure have excellent mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility.
