Front Cover: Hetero‐stereocomplex (HTSC) crystallization occurs at the interface between poly( L ‐2‐hydroxybutyrate (P( L ‐2HB)) and poly(D‐lactide) (PDLA) in phase‐separated blends. The HTSC crystallites form at temperatures between 80 and 160 °C. The cover picture shows polarized optical photomicrographs of neat P( L ‐2HB) and neat PDLA crystallized at 55 and 130 °C, respectively, along with that of their 50/50 blend crystallized at 165 °C. Further details can be found in the article by H. Tsuji,* F. Deguchi, Y. Sakamoto, and S. Shimizu on page 2573 .
