Front Cover: Reversibly coagulatable and redispersible polyacrylate latexes are prepared by emulsion (co)poly‐merization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) using a polymeric surfactant, PDMAEMA‐ block ‐PMMA. The resulting PMMA latexes can be readily coagulated with a trace amount of caustic soda. The coagulated latex pastes, after washing, can also be redispersed into fresh water to form stable emulsions by CO 2 bubbling with ultrasonication. The coagulation and redispersion processes are repeatable. Further details can be found in the article by Q. Zhang, G. Yu, W.‐J. Wang,* B.‐G. Li, and S. Zhu* on page 916 .
