Abstract

Advances towards the characterizations of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) hydrogels are illustrated in the cover art, based on article number 1500069 by K. Matyjaszewski and co-workers. The 3DOM hydrogels prepared by colloidal crystals templating display highly reversible macroporous structures, which are confirmed by indirect electron microscopy imaging of their inverse replicas and direct nanoscale resolution X-ray microscopy imaging of the hydrated hydrogels. Further modifications of the 3DOM hydrogels result in various multifunctional materials for a variety of applications.
