This cover by A. Kaan Kalkan, Linqi Zhang, and colleagues is an SEM image of silver nanowire / Nylon 66 composite microparticles (6.5% Ag by weight), synthesized by dynamic emulsion polycondensation (DEP). The nanowires sticking out from the particles can be seen. DEP involves simultaneous polymerization and dispersion of the nanostructures at room temperature in less than ten seconds. The silver nanowires mediate plasmonic heating, allowing photo‐printing of the composite powder under lower intensity radiation. DOI: 10.1002/app.47670
