Cover: The image presents a permeation model of water vapor through a polylactide amorphous region, the stereocomplex crystal structure, and the helices of poly( L ‐lactide) and poly( D ‐lactide). Stereospecific strong interaction between enantiomeric poly( L ‐lactide) and poly( D ‐lactide), which can cause stereocomplexation, is found to be effective to increase the water vapor barrier property of polylactide‐based materials for a wide range of crystallinities. Further details can be found in the article by H. Tsuji * and T. Tsuruno on page 709 .
