Reversible immobilization onto the surface of highly porous polymers through co‐assembly of stimuli‐responsive polymers is reported on p. 55 by Neil Cameron and co‐workers. Elastin‐based side‐chain polymers (EBPs) are prepared by RAFT polymerization and attached to the surface of PEG‐based emulsion‐templated porous polymers. By careful choice of EBP molecular weight and experimental conditions, pH‐controlled reversible co‐assembly of a complementary EBP from solution is demonstrated.
