Front Cover: Resin Swelling in Mixed Solvents Analysed using Hansen Solubility Parameter Space (Chem. Eur. J. 19/2019).

3D Hansen solubility space is used to explain why the ability of binary mixtures of two solvents to swell crosslinked resins does not vary linearly with the solvent mole fractions. The cover artwork, which is loosely based on the famous 1979 poster for the film Alien, shows a series of small eggs at the bottom representing unswollen resin beads each surrounded by a single solvent. The centre of the image shows a much larger egg representing a swollen resin bead, now surrounded by a mixture of two solvents. Coming off the egg is a tripeptide representing the solid‐phase peptide synthesis reported in the paper. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. North et al. on page 4951.
