For the first time a bicontinuous structure, with the supramolecular blocks forming the core of the core-shell gyroid morphology, has been realized in block copolymer-based hydrogen-bonded side-chain supramolecules. By dissolving the side chains well-ordered nanoporous films were obtained. Further information can be found in the article by G. G. du Sart, I. Vukovic, Z. Vukovic, E. Polushkin, P. Hiekkataipale, J. Ruokolainen, K. Loos,* and G. ten Brinke* on page 366. Back Cover: The image shows walnutlike microparticles with supramolecular liquid-crystalline ordering fabricated by combining a simple self-organized precipitation method with hydrogen-bonding interactions. Their morphologies can be easily controlled with the feed ratio between an azopyridyl polymer and sebacic acid. Further details can be found in the article by H. Liu, T. Kobayashi, and H. Yu* on page 378.
