Front Cover : Comparison of nano‐composites with hybrids of natural and epoxidized rubber with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POS). Minimum size of simulation is chosen using a topology method and calculating density at infinite relaxation time reduce computational cost. POS can increase density, glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical properties. This is reported by Isaac Martinez‐Pardo, Robert A. Shanks, Raju Adhikari, and Benu Adhikari in article 1800026 .
