Front Cover: Only stereocomplex crystallites accompanied with high spherulite growth rates were formed from low‐molecular‐weight poly(L‐lactide)/poly(D‐lactide) blends by crystallization above 120°C from the melt, regardless of poly(D‐lactide) content (X D ). The crystallization mechanism of the blends was independent of X D . Further details can be found in the article by L. Bouapao and H. Tsuji * on page 993 .
