Abstract
With the fast development of bio-related science, theranostic composite materials have recently attracted considerable attention due to their advantages in the combination of diagnosis and treatment. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely applied as various multi-functional materials and exhibited great potential in the construction of bio-materials. This review introduces the construction of new hybrid materials based on LDHs host and bio-materials through intercalation assembly. Aiming at fabrication of hybrid materials with superior performances in diagnosis and treatment, we expatiate upon the intercalation structure, the arrangement of guests and host-guest interaction to achieve the synergistic effect of LDHs host and intercalated biomaterials. Moreover, the growing trend and promising new strategies are discussed from the point of view of specific clinical challenges.
