Front Cover: The image depicts a novel approach to the preparation of Janus nanoparticles based on the self‐assembly of poly(2‐vinylpyridine)‐ block ‐poly(ethylene oxide) (P2VP‐ b ‐PEO) amphiphilic diblock copolymers. The addition of acids to the block copolymer micelles solution leads to local protonation of the pyridine units. If Lewis bases are introduced to deprotonate the pyridine units, Janus particles are generated. Further details can be found in the article by X. Li, * H. Yang, L. Xu, X. Fu, H. Guo, and X. Zhang on page 297 .
