Compositions and methods for improved materials and material laminates with organic/inorganic nanomaterials are presented. Organic/inorganic nanomaterials are introduced into an aqueous composition as fillers. Such composition is used as laminates to improve adhesion between a film and a layer of 1aterial or between layers of materials and to increase not only strength properties but also to provide other desired properties such as UV absorbing/blocking, optical-limiting, anti-re~lective, fire-retardant, conducting, antimicrobial properties or pigmentation to say material. By tailoring the composite formulations with multiple organic/inorganic nanomaterials, the resulting materials laminates become multifunctional and can be used for a variety of applications.
