Cover: A cube‐cell mathematical model predicts the behavior of catalyst/product particles in a CSTR for ethylene polymerization under typical commercial conditions. Representation of the changing morphologies for some typical supports in high‐activity metallocenes is performed, with density and porosity evolutions calculated. For the parameters employed, to increase the catalyst activity not necessarily should produce a proportional increase in polymer yields. Further details can be found in the Full Paper by M. G. Chiovetta * and D. A. Estenoz on page 1012.
