ON THE COVER: Electroactive Organic Materials. (montage at left) From molecule to microphase separation to macrophase separation: molecular model of the donor-acceptor diblock copolymer PPV-b-P(S-stat-C₆₀MS), overlaid on a background of the honeycomb-structured morphology obtained by casting from CS₂ (imaged by fluorescence microscopy); (montage, lower right) honeycomb-structured morphology imaged by scanning electron microscopy; (montage, lower left) microphase-separated morphology obtained by casting from 1,2-dichlorobenzene. Montage courtesy of B. de Boer. (right) Schematic illustration of a conjugated-polymer microrobot arm capable of gripping and moving small objects in an electrolyte, shown grasping and lifting a 100-µm glass bead.
