Graphical Abstract

Front Cover: 2D ordered trees-like self-assemblies with sizes of over 500 μm and branch widths of 3 to 5 μm are obtained by surface self-assembly of an amido-ended hydrophilic hyperbranched polyester/copper complex, showing intriguing crystal and fractal behaviors. The selfassembly mechanism is explained by diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) theory. Further details can be found in the article by J. Li, D. Zhang,* S. Li, Z. Xu, S. Chen,* T. Li, J. Zhang, S. Chen, A. Zhang on page 1724.
