Cover: . Nail/spindle‐shaped polyaniline is synthesized by a method based on polymerization‐induced assembly of organic molecules. The plate‐like structure composed of phenazine‐like molecules with spiral dislocations at the surface acts as a template to guide the growth, while the subsequent para‐coupled polyaniline chains replicate the spiral pattern to grow into nail‐ or spindle‐shaped gradient tips. Further details can be found in the article by W. Leng, S. Zhou, and L. Wu * on page 1900 .
