Cover: The cover picture shows the modelization of the crosslinking reaction of PVA with 1,2 ethanediol and 1,4 butanediol using fully atomistic MD simulations. The numerical results show that packing efficiency decrease as a function of the crosslinker chain length, and at the same time Young modulus and Glass transition temperature increases. Further details can be found in the article by J. Sacristan Bermejo * and C. M. Ugarte on page 259 .
