Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Dr. Thierry Darmanin at Université Côte d'Azur, France, and Dr. Alioune Diouf at Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, Senegal. The front cover shows nanofibrous surfaces prepared by the electropolymerization of 3,4‐ethylenedioxypyrrole (EDOP) and 3,4‐propylenedioxypyrrole (ProDOP) derivatives in which an alkyl chain is grafted to the 3,4‐alkylenedioxy bridge. Depending on whether an EDOP or a ProDOP monomer is used, and the length of the alkyl chain, the surface properties of the resulting polymer are very different.
