Front Cover: A new type of light‐controlled release system is developed using poly(sodium acrylate) possessing α‐cyclodextrin, β‐cyclodextrin, and azobenzene residues (pAαCD, pAβCD, and pAAzo). When an appropriate chemical cargo is chosen, the amount of cargo released is significantly higher for the pAαCD/pAβCD/pAAzo ternary mixture than those for the pAαCD/pAAzo and pAβCD/pAAzo binary mixtures because of the light‐controlled rearrangement of the inclusion complex of the cyclodextrins with azobenzene. Further details can be found in the article by I. E. T. Lee, A. Hashidzume,* and A. Harada* on page 2055.
