ON THE COVER: Cellular Solids. (clockwise from left) Aluminum foam sandwich for automotive applications, with the face sheet peeled back to make the pore structure visible; the bonding strength between the face sheets and the foam core is greater than the inherent strength of the foam (width of panel is 30 cm). Calculated model of a random polydisperse soap froth; this disordered structure contains 216 cells in the representative volume (unit cell). Micrograph of a highly porous scaffold for bone-tissue engineering produced by a rapid prototyping technique. Micrograph of the cell structure for an Al₂O₃ open-cell ceramic foam. See the technical theme that begins on p. 270.
