Frontispiece: Based on their rigid‐rod structure, all‐conjugated, rod‐rod block copolymers prefer to self‐assemble into low‐curvature vesicular (or lamellar) nanostructures. This tendency should be mainly independent from the chemical structure, size, and composition of the block copolymers. The resulting materials may find application in electronic devices or artificial membranes. Further details can be found in the article by U. Scherf, * S. Adamczyk, A. Gutacker, and N. Koenen on page 1059 .
