In their study reported on page 1079, Dissanayake and colleagues demonstrate the synthesis of two conducting polymers (P1 and P2) containing 3‐hexylthiophene (3HT) and 3‐[2‐[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy]thiophene (3MEEET). In the cover image, the top two rows of squares show tapping mode AFM images (phase) of P1 and P2 on mica drop‐casted from toluene (a, d), chloroform (b, e), and THF/water (3:2) solvent mixture (c, f) with 0.30 mg/mL, respectively. Graphs at the bottom indicate: (a) GIWAXS data from a film of the polymer P2 and (b) GIWAXS intensity versus scattering vector q. Both azimuthally‐averaged data and in‐plane line cuts. The schematic diagram at the bottom right corner shows the structure of the reported polymer. (DOI: 10.1002/pola.29362 )
