Cover: The picture on the cover represents a polymer chain immersed in a critical fluid confined in a nanopore. The size of the polymer, which depends on the proximity to the critical point τ and the pore diameter D , varies according to the effective potential. Far above the critical point the chain is stretched. At solvent criticality ( τ  = 0), its size is determined by the pore diameter and its excluded volume ν . For larger D the potential becomes negative. The chain collapses inside the blobs. Further details can be found in the Full Paper by A. Negadi, A. Dua, and T. A. Vilgis * on page 743.
