Taking the heat : Hard/soft core/shell colloidal building blocks allow large‐scale self‐assembly to form nacre‐mimetic paper. The strength and stiffness of this material can be tailored by supramolecular ionic bonds. These lightweight biomimetic materials show excellent and tunable mechanical properties and heat and fire‐shielding capabilities.
