Front Cover: When the polyamide component of the blend is dispersed in a large number of isolated sub‐micrometer droplets (MA and MB), surface nucleation with first‐order crystallization kinetics is observed. If a degree of percolation is provided by the co‐continuous morphology (MC), a heterogeneous nucleation and sigmoidal crystallization kinetics are found. Further details can be found in the article by M. E. Córdova, A. T. Lorenzo, A. J. Müller,* L. Gani, S. T.‐Girault, and L. Leibler on page 1335 .
