Back Cover: The image presents the use of mechanical force on a hydrogel as a new path for the desalination of sea water. The polymer is a crosslinked, partly neutralized poly(acrylic acid) swollen in brine. The salt concentration in the eluent drained from the gel by means of compression, is reduced as a function of volume flux. This yields water with a lower ionic content as used in forming the gel. Further details can be found in the article by J. Höpfner, C. Klein, and M. Wilhelm * on page 1337 .
