Back Cover : In article number 1900408, Debarshi Dasgupta and co‐workers unveil how controlling the microstructure reinforces the structural stability of alkyl polysiloxane. The discovery that the induced rigidity in the block copolymer refrains the alkyl chains from undergoing a polymorphic change unlike its random counterpart, relates to the fundamental aspect of backbone flexibility on side chain crystallization.
