Front Cover: The cover picture shows the structure of fluoride hyperbranched polyimide (CF3-HBPI). In the system of the CF3-HBPI, a new triamine monomer was synthesized, whose structure is shown on the left. The molecular structures of -CF3 terminal monomer, the new triamine and the 6FDA are shown at the bottom. The scheme of CF3-HBPI can be seen on the right. Further details can be found in the article by H. Gao, D. Wang, S. Guan, W. Jiang, Z. Jiang,* W. Gao, and D. Zhang on page 252.

Back Cover: A pyridyl disulfide modified trithiocarbonate RAFT agent was used to directly synthesize end group functionalized amphiphilic block copolymer. The pyridyl disulfide-terminated copolymer was shown to couple efficiently to a thiol containing model compound without the need for any post-polymerization modification. Further details can be found in the article by J. Liu, V. Bulmus*, C. Barner-Kowollik, M. H. Stenzel, and T. P. Davis* on page 305.
