Cover: The cover image presents 2D small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering patterns and corresponding frequency sweep of pure thermotropic liquid‐crystal polymer and its clay‐containing nanocomposites in the molten state. Results show the presence of numerous unaligned crystals in the melt state, responsible for unusual rheological behaviour of pure polymer. Further details can be found in the article by J. Bandyopadhyay, S. Sinha Ray and M. Bousmina on page 161.
