Front Cover : In article number 1900561 by Maria Isabel Felisberti and co‐workers, ABA and BAB triblock amphiphilic copolymers based on sucrose methacrylate, a monomer obtained from a renewable source, are synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. They are capable of self‐assembly in solution, forming aggregates, whose morphologies depend on the composition, molar mass, and architecture of the copolymers, and are capable of stabilizing water–oil emulsions.
