Cover: The picture illustrates that the addition of dual wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) to PVDF leads to stable solutions, which results in nanocomposite films with good dispersion, and improved mechanical, electrical, dielectric and electromechanical properties as compared to the pure PVDF. These property enhancements may open the way to the development of improved piezoelectric materials for sensors and actuators. Further details can be found in the article by A. Almasri, Z. Ounaies, * Y. S. Kim, and J. Grunlan on page 123.
