Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by Dr habil. Izabella Jastrzebska's group from the University of Białystok, Poland. The image shows a polymeric network with molecular rotors (MR) as crosslinks. The MR rotation is slowed or inhibited when a molecule of stored gas is placed inside the polymer material. Read the full text of the Research Article at 10.1002/cphc.202300793.
