Inside cover : In article number 2000671 by Felix H. Schacher and co‐workers, triple stimuli‐responsive polymeric materials are obtained via a straightforward synthetic route. Exhibiting a thermosensitive side chain and a polyampholytic backbone, these materials react to changes in environmental pH, temperature, as well as the presence and the amount of metal ions. As this results in simple outputs like turbidity or a shift of absorption, a high potential is foreseen in sensing applications.
