Front Cover: The introduction of diurethane junction units into a linear copolyester based on lactic acid and glycolic acid results in changes to the macromolecules' hydrophilicty and packing motifs, caused by varied inter‐ and intramolecular interactions. Those segmented block copolymers, when compared to linear nonsegmented polymers, exhibit a substantially retarded formation of morphological structures during compression under isobaric conditions. Further details can be found in the article by A.‐C. Schöne, K. Richau, K. Kratz, B. Schulz, and A. Lendlein* on page 1910.
