Front Cover: The image presents the self‐assembly of the block copolymer, isotactic ‐poly(methacrylic acid)‐ b ‐poly(butyl acrylate). Hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance creates nanospheres and nanofibers, and the crystallization of isotactic ‐poly(methyacrylic acid) causes the fusion to generate the formation of nanometer‐sized “grape” structures. Further details can be found in the article by H. Ajiro and M. Akashi * on page 714 .
