In article number 2000876, Sung Yeon Hwang, Dongyeop X. Oh, Jeyoung Park, and co‐workers fabricate a malleable and rapid‐cargo‐releasing poly(vinyl alcohol)‐borax hydrogel that embeds freely mobile poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) micelles. Upon exposure to wet conditions, the micelle particles escaping from the hydrogel act as a “conveyor belt” to effectively expel the cargo into the external environment.
