Cover: Microphase separation in model co‐networks based on end‐linked ABA triblock copolymers is investigated by calculating and minimizing the total Gibbs free energy for possible morphologies. Two characteristics of the system are taken into consideration: core crowding at high core functionality and topological loop formation upon self‐assembly. Further details can be found in the article by M. Karbarz,* Z. Stojek, C. S. Patrickios* on page 323.
