Front Cover : Copolymerization of γ‐butyrolactone into ε‐caprolactone‐based block copolymers is proven to be an efficient tool to tailor biodegradation rate of nanoparticle drug delivery systems prepared from these copolymers. This monomeric unit accelerates biodegradation rate in a controlled manner.
