Cover: The cover shows the mobility of pyrene end‐capped polystyrene (Py‐PSt) trapped in swollen polystyrene (PSt) gel. Py‐PSt chain was produced by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Swelling experiments were performed in real time by monitoring pyrene lifetimes, outside ( τ 1 ) and inside ( τ 2 ) of PSt gel, by using fast transient fluorescence technique (inset in the Figure). The graph shows the variation of solvent uptake, W , of PSt gel against swelling time, t s . Further details can be found in the Full Paper by M. Erdogan, Ö. Pekcan, * Y. Yagcι on page 456.
