The cover shows scanning electron microscope images of the electrospun non‐woven fiber membrane made from a polymer blend of poly(vinylidene flouride), PVDF, and a highly flourinated random co‐polymer, PMMA‐ r ‐PFDMA, blended at 80/20 w/w. Depicting randomly oriented collection of fibers having average diameters of about 1.5 μm, these fiber mats are candidates for filtration membranes and are used for the separation of oil from water. In the work by Nelaka Govinna, Ilin Sadeghi, Ayse Asatekin, and Peggy Cebe on page 312, the electrospinning fabrication of these membranes is presented and their structure and properties are assessed.
