ON THE COVER: Materials Science of Adhesives: How to Bond Things Together. Scanning electron micrograph of the peel front of a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) from a steel surface, showing stable stretched fibrils. The PSA is a blend of styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymers and a hydrogenated C₅ resin. (Courtesy of K. Lewtas, ExxonMobil Chemical Europe.) See the technical theme that begins on page 419.
