Front Cover : Article number 2100008 by Brian Hawkett and co‐workers, a directed polymerization‐induced self‐assembly process is used to encapsulate titanium dioxide particles in the form of polymer vesiculated pigment to improve their light scattering efficiency in water‐based paints. The improvement is attributed to well‐distributed light scattering pigment centers in polymer films as depicted in the front cover.
