Front Cover: The development of multifunctional nanocomposite materials is of great interest for various biomedical applications. A popular approach to produce tailored nanocomposites is to incorporate functional nanoparticles into hydrogels. A benign atmospheric pressure microplasma synthesis approach has been deployed for the synthesis of metal and alloy NP/PVA hydrogels. Practical applications of the NP/PVA nanocomposites have been demonstrated by anti‐bacterial testing, showing their potential for a range of biomedical applications.
