Christopher N. Bowman and co‐workers report on page 2024 the development of a novel photopolymerization reaction using the copper (I)‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction to generate polymer networks with unique mechanical properties. The cover image illustrates the formation of a cross‐linked network in the irradiated/light area while unreacted monomer molecules remain in the dark regions.
