Front Cover : In article number 1900392 by Hajime Nakajima, Katja Loos, and co‐workers, the T g of poly(lactic acid) is greatly enhanced by the incorporation of a mandelate unit by polymerization and polymer blending. The detailed characterization of the thermal properties reveals that a lower mandelate content than that suggested by theoretical calculations is adequate, when the interaction of mandelate and lactate is successfully improved by thermal treatment.
