Back Cover: In article number 2100233 by Chungyeon Cho and co-workers, in an effort to develop highly functionalized flame retardant materials, polymer nanocomposites are assembled alternately depositing polyaniline (PANi) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), stabilized montmorillonite (MMT) aqueous solution, via the layer-by-layer assembly technique. Incorporation of CNTs into a polymeric multilayer nanoc...

The use of polymer foams is becoming increasingly important due to the attainable weight reduction and value-added properties. development foam structures a popular research area as they have outstanding energy absorbing capability, which related special deformation mechanisms cell structure (cell wall buckling collapse cells). This property exploited by sports industry, where main task such pr...

Polyamide 6 (PA6) is used in many applications due to its advantages and improving its properties seems essential. For this purpose in the present study, PA6 was melt compounded with various multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) contents and then was foamed using Azodi carbon amide (ACA) as blowing agent under different injection molding conditions. Morphological properties were investigated u...

Wollastonite (CaSiO3) and diopside (CaMgSi2O6) silicate ceramics have been widely investigated as highly bioactive materials, suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. In the present paper, highly porous glass-ceramic foams, with both wollastonite and diopside as crystal phases, were developed from the thermal treatment of silicone polymers filled with CaO and MgO precursors, in the fo...
