Back Cover : In article number 1900391 by Fatemeh Rezaei and co‐workers, poly lactic acid (PLA) spinning solutions in chloroform and 5,5‐ N ‐dimethylformamide are exposed to pre‐electrospinning plasma treatment (PEPT). Physicochemical properties of the resultant PLA nanofibrous materials are carefully examined by using a wide range of analysis methods, including SEC, DSC, TGA, XRD, XPS, SEM and mechanical testing. It is revealed that the physicochemical properties of the nanofibers are significantly enhanced after PEPT.
