Front Cover : The in‐situ switch between different controlled/living polymerization methods remains a challenging but powerful tool to expand the wealth of well‐defined functional block copolymers. In article number 1800398 , Ulrich S. Schubert and co‐workers present an approach that bridges the gap between cationic ring‐opening polymerization of 2‐oxazolines and the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer process for the controlled synthesis of vinyl monomers in a straightforward manner and without the need for tedious purification steps.
