Back Cover: The graphic presents the scanning electron microscopy images of PMMA/clay nanocomposite beads synthesized by suspension polymerization of MMA in aqueous medium. When the polymerization was carried out in the presence of pristine clay, the beads were found to be more uniform, spherical in shape and size, and with no cluster formation, while the polymerization in the presence of the organoclay resulted in the formation of clusters only. Further details can be found in the article by S. Khatana, A. K. Dhibar, S. Sinha Ray and B. B. Khatua on page 1104 .
