Front Cover : In article 1800186 , Kenji Ogino and co‐workers discover that a fraction of the rigid amorphous region of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) drastically increases by the introduction of polystyrene, leading to easy detection via conventional differential scanning calorimetry. It is speculated that the interconnection of crystallites effectively occurs via the rigid amorphous domain, and it plays an important role in the drastic enhancement of out‐of‐plane hole mobility as well as the extension of π–π stacking in the crystallites.
