Front Cover: The symmetric 1,26‐diacid and 1,26‐diol, both prepared from erucic acid by olefin self‐metathesis, were polymerized to yield long‐chain aliphatic polyesters. Their renewable origin and possible biodegradability make them attractive candidates to be used as replacement of petroleum‐based plastics. For more information, see the Full Paper by C. Vilela, A. J. D. Silvestre, and M. A. R. Meier* on page 2220 .
