Back Cover: Superhydrophobic polymer coatings (right and bottom) are fabricated by direct copying of nature. The process known as micromolding surface‐initiated polymerization consists of molding a superhydrophobic plant leaf (e.g. white clover, Dutchman's pipe), lining the mold with initiator and filling it with monomer, and placing against a surface that is activated for ring‐opening metathesis polymerization. Further details can be found in the article by C. A. Escobar, M. P. Spellings, T. J. Cooksey, and G. K. Jennings* on page 1937.
