Cover: The cover image presents a field‐emission scanning electron microscopy image of high‐quality polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. These nanofibersare produced via a modified coaxial electrospinning process, in which Triton X‐100 solutions are used as sheath fluids to manipulate the diameters and morphologies of the nanofibers, as indicated by the schematic within the cover image. The mechanism regarding the influence of sheath solutions on the formation of PAN fibers is discussed. Further details can be found in the article by D.‐G. Yu,* N. P. Chatterton, J. H. Yang, X. Wang,* and Y. Z. Liao on page 395 .
