Cover: A semi‐interpenetrating nanocomposite gel (sI‐NC gel), composed of semi‐interpenetrating PAA chains incorporated in an organic/inorganic (PNIPA/clay) network, exhibits outstanding temperature‐ and pH‐sensitive swelling/de‐swelling behaviors, as can be seen in the cover picture. Beyond that, it shows superior tensile mechanical properties such as high strength and high elongation at break. Further details can be found in the article by L. Song, M. Zhu, Y. Chen, and K. Haraguchi * on page 1564.
