Cover: The picture on the cover shows how a segregated network of carbon nanotubes is formed when a polymer emulsion is used as the composite matrix. A freeze‐fractured cross‐ section of poly(vinyl acetate) containing 1.3 vol.‐% single‐walled carbon nanotubes highlights this network, which dramatically improves composite modulus above the glass transition temperature. Further details can be found in the article by J. C. Grunlan, * Y.‐S. Kim, S. Ziaee, X. Wei, B. Abdel‐Magid, and K. Tao on page 1035.
