Cover: The distribution of polymer topologies on different stages of a polymer modification is obtained from the simulation of a nonȐlinear population balance equation. Initially present linear polymer chains undergo hydrogen abstraction and subsequent chainȐendȐtoȐbackbone branching or scission. The results can help in understanding the nature of complicated topologies observed in various polymer modification systems. Further details can be found in the article by I. Kryven* and P. D. Iedema on page 7 .
