Front Cover : A one‐step process for the synthesis of welldefined super‐paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with polymerizable stabilizing groups based on bulky carboxylic acids is devised. A series of norbornene‐based nanocomposites containing such nanoparticles is synthesized, in which the nanomagnets are well dispersed and serve as crosslinking points and magnetic‐induction heaters. The weak interactions due to the complexation of carboxylate onto the surface of Fe 3 O 4 are strong enough to bestow the materials with the ability to form appropriately strong networks that exhibit shape‐memory behavior. This synthesis approach follows an orthogonal approach, which should be adaptable to other nanoparticles and polymers. Further details can be found in the article by S. Bai, H. Zou, H. Dietsch,* Y. C. Simon,* and C. Weder on page 398.
