Front Cover : The kinetics for the formation of the single gyroid (SG) nanostructure in ABC triblock terpolymers is investigated using the self‐consistent field theory combined with the string method. The epitaxial relationships between various phases and SG as well as the nucleation kinetics of SG are revealed. The cover shows the characteristic morphologies along the kinetic pathways of order‐order phase transition (OOT) between double diamond and SG. The results demonstrate the significant potential of OOT to fabricate functional materials with multiply continuous network nanostructure by regulating the kinetic pathways.
