Cover: The influence on polymerization kinetics of the Laplace pressure in polymer particles in heterogeneous radical polymerization is investigated. The Figure on the cover shows ( k p / k t 0.5 )/( k p / k t 0.5 )0 (subscript 0 denotes atmospheric pressure) vs. particle radius for styrene at 60 °C at low conversion (black line) and 50% conversion (red line) with γ (styrene) = 30 mN · m −1 . Further details can be found in the article by P. B. Zetterlund and M. Okubo * on page 40.
