## Abstract Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are recognized as the ultimate carbon fibers for high‐performance, multifunctional composites. The remarkable multifunctional properties of pristine SWNTs have proven, however, difficult to harness __simultaneously__ in polymer composites, a proble
## Abstract The main goal of this article is the development of a novel approach to construct multifunctional composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. For this purpose, different kinds of mineral macroporous supports, water‐soluble aldehyde‐containing copolymers of N‐vinylpyrrolidone, as we
Mu1 tifunctional polymers of poly (amidoam ine) structure were proposed as sensor coatings for the detection of sulfur dioxide. They were amorphous rubber-like materials, and therefore characterized by good conforma tional dynamics. This property is particularly significant in view of applications i
Continuous carbon nanotube composite fibers having record energy‐to‐break (toughness) are reported. These fibers have been employed in the fabrication of lightweight fiber supercapacitors, which can be woven or sewn into fabrics and, therefore, be potentially considered as components for electronic
