**Cover:** The picture depicts the mechanism of peroxide‐assisted coupling of isotatic poly(propylene) (iPP) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs), which, in turn, leads to improved adhesion between the filler (CNF) and the polymeric matrix (iPP) and increased stiffness of the matrix. Further details can be

**Cover:** The optical micrographs show thermoplastic polyimide surfaces after sliding at different temperatures. The tribological mechanisms of polymers can be evaluated with Raman spectroscopy, showing three sliding regimes with hydrolysis inducing high friction and low wear, imidisation inducing

**Cover:** The picture on the cover shows a set of symmetrical and unsymmetrical azoalkanes. The symmetrical azoalkanes provide flame retardancy to poly(propylene), whereas the unsymmetrical azoalkanes can successfully be used for either controlled degradation of poly(propylene) or crosslinking of p
