Polyaniline nanotubes can be synthesized through a chemical template method. The shape and major parameters of the tubes are precisely controlled by the reactive templates of MnO 2 nanowires, which also act as the oxidative initiator for polymerization. The cover image shows an example where the rectangular tubes are cloned from the cryptomelane‐phase MnO 2 , as reported on p. 461 by Shi and co‐workers.
