Abstract

Abstract : There is an increasing interest in developing advanced materials based on natural resources. In this article, Senentxu Lanceros‐Méndez, Carlos M. Costa, and co‐workers, article number 2000111, report on magnetic nanocomposites based on Silk Fibroin (SF) polymer with magnetic CoFe2 O4 (CFO) nanoparticles. Together with the discussion of the physico‐chemical aspects of this nanocomposite, the suitability of the materials for electronic applications has been demonstrated though the development of a magnetic actuator.
