Front Cover : Poly(cyclohexylene alkylene)s with cyclohexyl units incorporated within the polymer backbone are obtained via ADMET chemistry. Polymers with cyclohexyl moieties separated by 14, 18 and 20 methylene carbons exhibit higher melting temperature and improved resistance to thermal degradation compared to alkyl branched and phenylene‐based analogues. Further details can be found in the article by Lucas Caire da Silva and Kenneth B. Wagener* page 850. Cover art by Dr. Paula Delgado.
