The Cover Feature shows the charging process of a polythiophene‐based conducting polymer bearing ionophoric functionality, when this unit interacts with a convenient ion, the conductance of the polymer is affected. Using an in situ electrochemical‐conductance method and an interdigital microelectrode, very small changes in the conductance ( G ) can be detected, obtaining valuable analytical and physical‐chemical information about conducting polymers.
