Cover: The cover shows spatial distributions of local domains of blocked segments (LDBS, red spheres) in linear and ring polymers during cooling. Linear polymers have end segments (blue spheres) with high mobility, which hinder the growth of LDBS. Thus, the LDBS in linear polymers grow more slowly at relative high temperatures compared with those in ring polymers. Further details can be found in the article by X. Ye, Z. Zhou,* Y. Nie,* P. Ma, T. Hao, W. Yang, and H. Lu on page 9 .
