Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover : A mixture of two poly(ethylene oxide)‐poly(propylene oxide)‐poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO‐PPO‐PEO) block copolymers, PEO100 PPO68 PEO100 and PEO5 PPO68 PEO5, forms vesicles in aqueous solution. The vesicle membranes are selectively permeable to small molecules, suggesting that they contain transmembrane pores. This size selectivity is extrusion‐tunable, and could allow the vesicles to serve as sensors or microreactors. Further details can be found in article number1700620 by Manish Kumar and co‐workers.
