Cover: The picture on the cover shows polarized photomicrographs of poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) crystallized from the melt in the presence of poly( D ‐lactic acid) (PDLA) fullerene C 60 , montmorillonite, and talc. These additives dramatically increased the spherulite number of PLLA, meaning that these additives can act as promising nucleating agents. Further details can be found in the article by H. Tsuji, * H. Takai, N. Fukuda, and H. Takikawa on page 325.
