Cover: The properties of poly(butylene 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylate) can be easily modulated by controlling the cis/trans ratio of the cycloaliphatic unit, as can be seen in the cover picture. The crystalline phase perfection increases with an increasing trans percentage. The mechanical relaxations at low temperatures, which improve the impact properties, depend on the cis/trans ratio. Further details can be found in the article by C. Berti, A. Celli, P. Marchese, * E. Marianucci, G. Barbiroli, and F. Di Credico on page 1333.
