Front Cover : In article number 2000304, Jan Lauko, Gleb Yakubov, and co‐workers study the polymer bundle formation in temperature‐responsive polyisocyanopeptide hydrogels as a function of Hofmeister series ions. The molecular parameters obtained from small angle neutron scattering clearly shows changes in polymer conformation which map onto the temperature‐induced changes in rheological and micro‐mechanical behavior.
