Front Cover: An electrochemical layered system that allows for the in situ wettability switch of microstructured polypyrrole surfaces has been developed. The system eliminates the need to contact the active surface with a chemical solution, and can switch the polymer from a superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic state upon voltage application. Further details can be found in the Communication by J. H. Chang* and Ian W. Hunter on page 718 .
