Cover Picture: Hierarchical Assembly of Monodisperse Hydroxyapatite Nanowires and Construction of High‐Strength Fire‐Resistant Inorganic Paper with High‐Temperature Flexibility (ChemNanoMat 4/2017)

High-strength, flexible, fire-resistant inorganic paper is greatly needed for many high-temperature applications. This work demonstrates a new strategy for the fabrication of fire-resistant hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanowire paper with high flexibility and good mechanical properties. The reported method is simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly, uses water as the only solvent, and can be scaled up for the large-scale production of HAP nanowires. The A4-sized HAP nanowire-based inorganic paper can be directly printed using a commercial printer. The fire-resistant HAP nanowire paper can also preserve well its high flexibility even at high temperatures. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y.-J. Zhu, J.
