On the outside cover is a paper on Electrochemistry-controlled metal ion release from silicone elastomer nanocomposites through combination of different metal nanoparticles by Anne Hahn, Sebastian Günther, Philipp Wagener and Stephan Barcikowski. In the paper the team report on the retardation and enhancement of metal ion release for time- and rate-controlled design of bioactive nanocomposites.
The Inside front cover highlights the work of Yonit Boguslavsky, Tania Fadida, Yossi Talyosef and Jean-Paul Lellouche and their paper on Controlling the wettability properties of polyester fibers using grafted functional nanomaterials. The paper describes a simple method for controlling the wettability properties of poly(ethyleneterephthalate) fibers. PET fibers were modified using silica nanoparticles to obtain a hydrophilic surface and multi-walled carbon nanotubes to create a hydrophobic surface.
