Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover shows micelles composed of a polar PEG headgroup (green color) and a nonpolar carbon chain, linked together by photoresponsive ortho ‐hydroxycinnamates (red color). The excitation light enters the water environment from the top and hits some of the micelles initiating the photodegradation process of the cinnamates to release the corresponding coumarins (violet color). This degrades the surfactant molecules and hence the micelles. More information can be found in the Research Article by David Díaz Díaz and co‐workers .
