A highly flexible , fire‐resistant inorganic nanocomposite paper made from glass fibers (GFs) coated with network‐structured hydroxyapatite ultralong nanowires (NS‐HANWs) is shown on the cover picture. The NS‐HANWs/GFs paper has superior mechanical properties, low thermal conductivity and excellent heat insulation performance. This new material could be promising for many applications such as in the protection layer of fire‐retardant optical fiber cables, printing/copying/writing paper, nonflammable China paper, fire‐retardant wallpaper, and fireproof specialty paper. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y.‐J. Zhu and L.‐Y. Dong on page 4597 ff.
