Cover: The picture illustrates that, in addition to favourable enthalpic interactions between the clay surface and the polymer matrices, a requisite interlayer spacing of the silicate layers exists in order to achieve a fine morphology, which in turn is responsible for superior properties of clay‐containing polymer blend composites. Further details can be found in the article by V. Ojijo, H. Cele, and S. Sinha Ray, * on page 865 .
