Front Cover : The centerpiece depicts one possible conformation of a branched polymer molecule. It is obtained by performing a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of a vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropene copolymerization and subsequently treating the data generated with the random walk approach presented here. Applied to a large number of molecules a conformation plot is obtained which allows for direct comparison with experimental data. Further details can be found in the article by Benjamin Hosemann, Marco Drache, and Sabine Beuermann* on page 508.
