Front Cover: Nitroxide‐mediated polymerization (NMP) of methacrylic esters is still a great challenge in the field of polymer science. This Feature Article will first discuss the reasons why this class of monomers–the most representative one being methyl methacrylate–is usually poorly controlled by NMP, and will then present the most successful strategies to control their polymerization. NMP‐derived materials comprising uncontrolled methacrylate segments will also be covered. Further details can be found in the article by E. Guégain, Y. Guillaneuf, and J. Nicolas* on page 1227.
