Abstract

Abstract: The front cover artwork is provided by the group of Roman Boulatov at the University of Liverpool. The image attempts to conceptualize the capacity of large‐scale mechanical loads to affect chemical reactivity that underlies the field of mechanochemistry. Read the full text of the article at10.1002/cphc.201601354 . Abstract : "Polymer mechanochemistry is an emerging field at the interface of chemistry, materials science, physics and engineering. It aims at understanding and exploiting unique reactivities of polymer chains confined to highly non‐equilibrium stretched geometries by interactions with their surroundings…" This and more about the story behind the front cover can be found in the Review at10.1002/cphc.201601354 .
