Front Cover : In article number 2000192, Guilhermino J. M. Fechine and co‐workers analyze the influence of the superlubricity phenomenon of graphene oxide and graphite oxide agglomerates on the mechanical properties of the HMWPE. It is observed that the agglomerates, due to their superlubricity state, toughen the polyethylene and polystyrene. This image illustrates the superlubricity phenomenon of the particles during the tensile test of the composites.
