Abstract: Front Cover: In‐situ polymerization of cyclic butylene terephthalate (pCBT) on aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper generates thermoplastic composites with favourable properties. pCBT encapsulates the CNT network with strong interfacial adhesion, allowing for efficient load transfer from the polymer matrix to the nanotubes. Cover image shows the pCBT‐covered CNTs, before and after fracture from tensile testing. Further details can be found in the article by Z. Li,* R. Downes, Z. Liang on page 292.

“…The azimuthal angle ( χ ) dependence includes both Bragg and diffuse scattering from crystalline and noncrystalline components, respectively, in some unknown ratio. It would overestimate the unaligned part of MWNTs in the network if Hermans orientation function is calculated directly using the X‐ray diffraction diagram . After the background removal and peak area normalization, the tube number distribution around the orientation can be directly read out from the Bragg arc intensity of a narrow θ ‐range only containing the MWNT diffraction peak, and the Herman's orientation parameter were calculated: Snormald=true(3true〈normalcos2χtrue〉1true)/2, where true〈normalcos2χtrue〉=true(0πI(χ)sinχ cos2χdχtrue)/0πI(χ)sinχdχ .…”

“…The same aqueous solution became opaque at a higher temperature such as 35 8C (above the CP), which turned gradually into more transparent with light yellow after UV light irradiation. 37 The photocleavage process of NB-g-PHPA can be easily followed on UV-Vis absorption spectra, where o-nitrobenzyl and o-nitrosobenzaldehyde present two different bands. 38,39 UV-Vis absorbance spectra of NB-g-PHPA-3 aqueous solution were measured before and after different irradiation times (Supporting Information Fig.…”
