In article number 1802717 , Zhengzhi Wang, Houbing Huang, Zuoqi Zhang, and co‐workers develop functional gradient nanocomposite coatings with hybrid‐sized nanoreinforcements gradiently and discretely distributed towards the coating surface. The coatings exhibit simultaneously high surface hardness, stiffness, and wear resistance, as well as superb coating/substrate interfacial integrity that applies perfectly as ultradurable protective coatings. The design strategy and mechanics of functional gradients in biological materials are well replicated in these coating structures.
