Cover: Thermally instable azoinitiators were embedded within a polymer particle by using the miniemulsion process and afterwards quickly decomposed by thermal treatment below the glass temperature of the polymer. The resulting nitrogen gas overpressure inside the particles leads to a disruption of the polymer particle and a possible sudden release of encapsulated substances. Further details can be found in the article by M. Volz, P. Walther, U. Ziener, and K. Landfester * on page 1237.
