Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Front Cover:</bold> The potential of an epoxy resin to tailor the coefficient of thermal expansion using unique, negative‐CTE ZrW2O8 nanoparticles while also achieving simultaneous enhancements in mechanical and electrical properties of the matrix is investigated. Improvements in thermomechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of the epoxy matrix are achieved with no detrimental effect on the dielectric strength, which suggests that these nanocomposites could be viable candidates for a wide range of electrical applications.
