About the Cover:

In the United States, National Chemistry Week (NCW) is November 4-10, 2001. The American Chemical Society has chosen "Celebrating Chemistry and Art" as this year's theme. Many articles in this issue can help you celebrate NCW 2001, starting on page 1295 and continuing through page 1328. On page 1312, Felice Frankel shows how she communicates science through photography. The cover image is an example of her work, dramatically illustrating the controlled gas deposition of a polymer on a patterned surface (from the research of Kathleen M. Vaeth and Klavs F. Jensen).
