Cover: Sequential group transfer polymerizations of monomer, hydrolyzable crosslinker and again monomer and hydrolyzable crosslinker leads to the successive formation of linear polymers, “arm‐first” star polymers, “in‐out” star polymers, and finally crosslinked star polymer networks. These three polymers can readily be cleaved into linear block copolymers: AB diblocks, ABA triblocks and ABAB tetrablocks, respectively. Further details can be found in the article by E. Themistou and C. S. Patrickios * on page 1021.
