Front Cover: Reimagining Lunar Dust: A Novel Reinforcement for Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite Materials (Adv. Eng. Mater. 8/2026)

Lunar Dust This cover illustrates lunar regolith particles reinforcing a fiber-reinforced polymer composite. The interaction between regolith particles and fibers enhances crack resistance and load transfer, enabling improved mechanical performance. This work demonstrates the potential of lunar dust as a functional reinforcement material for high-performance structural composites in future extraterrestrial manufacturing and aerospace applications.

Abstract

Lunar Dust This cover illustrates lunar regolith particles reinforcing a fiber-reinforced polymer composite. The interaction between regolith particles and fibers enhances crack resistance and load transfer, enabling improved mechanical performance. This work demonstrates the potential of lunar dust as a functional reinforcement material for high-performance structural composites in future extraterrestrial manufacturing and aerospace applications.
