Cover: The picture on the cover shows a TEM image of the phase morphology and the mechanical properties of PMMA/SiO 2 nanocomposites. The indentation fracture mechanics is quite well applicable for evaluation of fracture toughness in combination with percolation of the bound polymer layers around the SiO 2 particles. Further details can be found in the article by R. Lach, G.‐M. Kim * , G. H. Michler, W. Grellmann, and K. Albrecht on page 263.
