Abstract

Abstract : Frontispiece : In article number 2100091 by Masayoshi Watanabe and co‐workers, the gel‐to‐sol transition induced by UV irradiation for an ABA block copolymer/ionic liquid mixture is accompanied by an order‐to‐disorder structural change, which subsequently induces changes in the rheological property and ionic conductivity. Surprisingly, the photo‐induced changes occurs rapidly (≈30 s).
