Back Cover: Stimuli‐responsive fullerene containing polymers with attractive properties have been developed via various synthetic pathways. In aqueous solutions, they self‐assemble into nanostructures comprised of spherical micelles, vesicles, and complex aggregates. Amphiphilic compounds, such as surfactants and drug molecules, have a dominant impact on their morphologies. Potential appli‐cations in personal care and controlled drug delivery are being explored.
