Front Cover: A simple mathematical model is used to quantify the effect of several pre‐polymerization conditions (temperature, ethylene pressure, time and 1‐hexene/ethylene molar ratio) on the apparent kinetic constants of ethylene homopolymerization and ethylene/1‐hexene copolymerization with a 4 th generation Ziegler‐Natta catalyst. These changes are also correlated to the surface morphology of the pre‐polymer particles. Further details can be found in the article by Keran Chen, João B. P. Soares* and co‐workers on page 463.
